This article discusses off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery through a manubrium-sparing mini-sternotomy incision. It summarizes a previous study that found shorter hospital stays and lower transfusion rates with a mini-sternotomy approach compared to standard CABG. The article then describes the surgeon's technique of performing CABG on a patient through a very small 9cm incision by cutting a rib cartilage to access the internal mammary artery graft. This allowed bypass of one coronary artery through a much smaller incision than typical mini-sternotomy approaches. The article argues this technique can further reduce surgical trauma and costs compared to other minimally invasive CABG methods.
The title of the talk is emblematic of the binary way that we have approached structural heart disease where cardiac surgery or an interventional procedure might be required – this thinking is now transitioning to an entirely different paradigm which is that of the “Heart Team”.Â
Remarkable advances over the last decade have led to a plethora of interventional options for both coronary and structural heart disease. In the coronary realm, as complex and high risk PCI options continue to evolve, the role for surgery in multi-vessel disease, diabetes and LV dysfunction has become well established. Hybrid revascularization options also evolve and are the subject of ongoing investigation. In structural heart disease, as TAVR application expands to a low risk subset, ongoing investigations will answer questions regarding durability of TAVR as compared to the historical surgical gold standard. Mitral valve repair remains the gold standard for degenerative MR and the Mitraclip has become a well-established option for a high-risk subset. Ongoing studies will answer the role of Mitraclip in functional MR and excitingly multicenter studies are investigating a role for transcatheter mitral valve replacement for mitral valve disease. The role of surgery in tricuspid valve disease, a large and underserved subset remains controversial and transcatheter devices remain investigational at this point. The reality is that decision-making is complex and central to the entire debate is the heart team concept, whereby surgeons and interventionalists sit at the same table as part of the same team to determine the best approach for any given patient. As evidence continues to evolve, lines between cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology continue to blur, with combined expertise from both sides going forward required to best serve our patients in a truly heart team approach. Â
Retrograde coronary chronic total occlusion interventionRamachandra Barik
Â
Chronic total occlusion remains one of the most challenging subsets and represents the “last frontier" of percutaneous coronary intervention. Retrograde recanalization is one of the most significant amendments
of the technique and has become an important complement to the classical antegrade approach. It
yields a high success rate even in most complex patients. With emergence of important iterations, this
approach has become safer, faster, and more successful. The author proposes a step-by-step guide to the
retrograde approach with alternatives to various steps for operators wishing to embark on this strategy

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) had become a novel and secure procedure to treat aortic stenosis that had become more accepted over the years; the approach and different types of device improve the life expectancy, diminish the complications and costs in public health. Along with the improvement in technology the minimalist approach had gain popularity to ameliorate the overall patient health.
Over the last two decades, laparoscopic cholecystectomy
has replaced open cholecystectomy as the standard surgical procedure for majority of patients of gall stone disease. Till 1999, laparoscopic Cholecystectomy was being performed using multiple ports usually 3 or 4 ports.
Intensive desire of surgeon to reduce the number of ports led invention of two port cholecystectomy and then finally
single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) .

A Review of Atherectomy in Peripheral Arterial Diseaseasclepiuspdfs
Â
Atherectomy involves exciting technology and offers expanded treatment options for PAD. Data are scant so far in most lower extremity territories to support its use over other interventions, but newer results are promising. There is still a financial benefit to choosing atherectomy in the outpatient setting that likely drives much of its popularity among interventionalists. Atherectomy is an exciting technology for peripheral vascular intervention. Its use has greatly increased over the last decade. Data on its superiority to angioplasty or angioplasty with stenting are scant. Here, we review atherectomy techniques and principles along with results and controversy surrounding its use.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Â
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

vessel coronary artery disease in our center (Left Internal Thoracic
Artery (LITA) to left anterior descending coronary artery). The
operation was planned and performed by the first author (IA) of this
article. As seen in (Figure 1) which was taken in his postoperative
period, the skin incision was only 9cm. Total length of his sternum
is 23cm as seen between the index fingers of the nurse in the same
photograph.
When compared our skin incision to the skin incisions in the Su’s
work, they completed their TM-OPCAB operations through 15cm
mean skin incision while it is only 9cm in our patient. In another
words, according to their report they had an average sternum length
of 22cm, they completed their operation by doing 66% ([15/22.6] Ă—
100 = 66) of total sternal skin incision. In our patient, the skin incision
was 9 cm and the operation was completed by doing 39% ([9/23] Ă—
100 = 39) of total sternal skin incision. It is obvious that there is a
meaningful difference between 66% and 39%. It might be thought at
first that the difference between the percentages of skin incisions are
related to the numbers of the bypassed vessels: one patient had three-
vessel-surgery but the other patient had only single vessel surgery.
However, we think that the difference is related to our technique, not
the numbers of the vessels.
In order to explain this, firstly we should understand that there
are three main factors that affect the length of the mini-sternotomy
skin incision in off-pump coronary surgery:
1- The location of the coronary stenotic lesions, which are being
planned to be bypassed.
2-Needs for ascending aorta as being the location for proximal
anastomoses.
3-To be able to reach the proximal end of LITA (with the division
of the first intercostal artery).
It is a classical knowledge that - if the patient is suitable for an
off-pump coronary surgery- the problems in item 1 and 2 can be
overcome with a “C” or “upside down or reverse L or J” mini-sternal
incision. This is same for all kind of operations and independent
from the numbers of the vessels. So, it can be said that the most
influential factor for the length of skin incision is the need to reach
the root of LITA. In our patient, it was achieved by means of cutting
a cartilaginous rib and then it was sewed with a steel wire at the end
of the operation. In order to reach the proximal root of the LITA,
cutting of the cartilaginous rib which is preventing your harvesting
can be an enough solution. At the end of the operation, it can be
sewed. By means of this application, unnecessary sternal incisions
can be prevented. In addition, it is not necessary to make an incision
on the skin as much as the sternal incision. We believe that the main
reason for the difference between the lengths of the incisions is related
to these technical differences. To the best of our knowledge, without
using video assisted or robotically assisted methods or instruments,
for preventing the excessive lengthening of sternotomy incision,
the addition of cutting a rib while harvesting LITA to the mini-
sternotomy incision in an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
surgery is new in the literature. It is believe that this manuscript will
encourage the cardiac surgeons for doing smaller incisions in their
patients.
Moreover, when considered the positive notification in the
guidelines [11-13] about the off-pump CABG surgery and minimally
invasive CABG surgery in regard to reduced hospital stay and costs
and improved patient satisfaction with better aesthetic results, it
seems that the future of the off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery
through manubrium sparing mini-sternotomy is bright. However,
it is obvious that the accumulated knowledge and experience by
multicenter studies are needed in this area.
Conclusion
Manubrium sparing off-pump coronary bypass grafting surgery
leads to not only better esthetical results but also lesser trauma
of the whole body of the patient due to lesser invasive procedural
applications. These outcomes result in the decreasing of the cost
of the operation and the increasing of the patient satisfaction. It is
believe that this manuscript will encourage the surgeons to develop
smaller incisions to get the same successful results.

Figure 1: A postoperative photograph of our patient who underwent off-pump
coronary artery bypass grafting surgery through a mini-sternotomy incision.
Please note that the length of the incision is only 9cm. It would be a 23-cm-
length incision, if his sternum was totally incised as indicated by the index
fingers of the nurse.
