from the ascending aorta. One important potential benet of OPCAB is the ability to minimize or eliminate aortic manipula­tion. Unfortunately, the large majority of OPCAB cases in the three largest RCTs to date (ROOBY, CORONARY, and GOPCABE), were performed with multiple saphenous vein gras sutured to the ascending aorta using a side- biting clamp, typically placed on the pulsatile aorta without intraoperative epiaortic ultrasound screening to detect and avoid aortic atherosclerosis. is extent of aortic manipulation is similar to cannulation for bypass and cross­clamping for cardioplegic arrest, and has been associated with risk of perioperative stroke and death. In retrospect, it is perhaps not surprising that none of these large RCTs have shown a statistic­ally signicant reduction in perioperative stroke. Moreover, in the largest RCT (CORONARY), 102 patients randomized to ONCAB were converted to OPCAB during surgery when calcication of the ascending aorta was identied intraoperatively; this likely blunted the impact of OPCAB on neurological outcomes in the primary intention- to- treat analysis of that important trial. In addition, given that the overall incidence of perioperative stroke is quite low, individual RCTs have been insuciently powered to show a dierence. When Kowalewski and colleagues performed a meta­analysis of 100 RCTs including 19,192 patients, they found that OPCAB was associated with a signicantly reduced incidence of stroke (odds ratio 0.72, 95% condence interval (CI) 0.56– 0.92; P =0.009). ese studies included OPCAB performed using a side- biting clamp and other techniques including lesser degrees of aortic manipulation. ere is strong evidence to suggest that fur­ther limiting aortic manipulation, such as with the use of clampless facilitating anastomosis devices and ‘no- touch’ aortic techniques, can reduce the risk of perioperative stroke even further. Zhao and colleagues performed a network meta- analysis of 13 studies including 37,720 patients and compared risk- adjusted incidence of stroke with varying degrees of aortic manipulation during CABG. Ano- aortic- touch OPCAB technique was associated with a 78% reduction in risk of perioperative stroke compared to conventional CABG on cardiopulmonary bypass.
It has been suggested that OPCAB utilizing a side- biting clamp could be characterized as ‘OPCAB 1.0’. Use of a clampless facili­tating device such as the Heartstring® to sew anastomoses to the ascending aorta without clamping might be considered ‘OPCAB
2.0’. Ano- aortic- touch technique, in which bilateral internal thor­acic arteries provide inow for multiple all- arterial coronary by­pass gras may be described as ‘OPCAB 3.0’ and is perhaps the present gold standard for surgical coronary revascularization. A large single- centre series reported that comprehensive rou­tine adoption of OPCAB 3.0 techniques led to a decrease in early postoperative stroke from 0.83% to 0.09% among 4485 consecu­tive patients in a large cardiac surgical department. Similarly, a meta- analysis of 13 studies and 37,720 patients reported a signi­cant reduction in the risk of perioperative stroke with anaortic
Completeness ofrevascularization and graftpatency
Completeness of revascularization has been considered critical for the success and durable benet of coronary artery bypass surgery since its inception. Evidence from some smaller randomized trials suggests equivalent revascularization can be achieved with OPCAB compared to ONCAB techniques. However, some larger RCTs, as well as meta- analyses of randomized trials, have shown a slightly lower number of gras per patient in OPCAB versus ONCAB; this mean dierence has typically been 0.1– 0.3 gras fewer per patient in the OPCAB group., Incomplete revascularization has oen been attributed to surgeon inexperience; however, even in trials with more rigorous criteria for surgeon experience, patients who underwent OPCAB tended to leave the operating room with slightly fewer gras. Interestingly, this has not translated into a higher risk of perioperative myocardial infarction, but has been associated with poorer long- term outcomes in some RCTs, including the ROOBY trial. e 5- year outcomes of the GOPCABE trial showed a strong statistical signal that incomplete revascularization was associated with diminished survival, irrespective of whether revascularization was performed on- pump or o- pump.
Gra patency has been evaluated in several randomized trials. In the rst RCT to assess gra patency by angiography prior to hospital discharge and at 1- year follow- up, Puskas and colleagues in a single­centre RCT demonstrated no dierence in patency rates at discharge and at 1year. However, the multi- institutional Danish On- pump versus O- pump Randomization Study (DOORS) and ROOBY study suggested that OPCAB may be associated with slightly in­creased need for reintervention at 1year, while the CORONARY, and GOPCABE trials, showed no dierence in revascularization at 1year or 5years.
Routine use of intraoperative transit time Doppler ow measure­ments to assess gra patency is recommended by the updated 2018 European Society of Cardiology/ European Association for Cardio­oracic Surgery Guidelines for myocardial revascularization. is is a classIIa, level of evidence B recommendation for both OPCAB and ONCAB cases and is likely to be a useful adjunct to improve gra patency, since it identies approximately 2– 4% of gras that need revision., Moreover, dual antiplatelet medical therapy (DAPT) aer CABG has been shown to improve gra pa­tency, especially among vein gras, reducing early mortality aer CABG, especially among OPCAB patients. In OPCAB, the ad­ministration of DAPT may mimic the benecial eects of cardio­pulmonary bypass- induced coagulopathy on gra patency and should be routine early aer OPCAB when bleeding risk is accept­able. Regrettably, DAPT was not commonly used in the three lar­gest RCTs of OPCAB, each of which has now passed 5years of follow- up.

Fig.17.1 OPCAB disproportionately benefits high- risk patients.
Among 14,766 patients at a single centre (7083 OPCAB; 48%) and 7683 ONCAB (52%), patients with low STS predicted risk of mortality had similar observed mortality risk after OPCAB or ONCAB. For patients with predicted risk of mortality in excess of 2.5%, OPCAB was associated with reduced observed 30- day mortality compared to ONCAB. This benefit of OPCAB increased with increasing STS predicted risk. CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass.

disease. e rationale for OPCAB is that avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass may reduce the risk of perioperative complications, espe­cially in frail patients with multiple comorbidities. Among 14,766 patients at a single centre (7083 OPCAB and 7683 ONCAB), pa­tients with low STS predicted risk of mortality had similar observed mortality between operative groups. But for patients with predicted risk of mortality in excess of 2.5%, OPCAB was associated with signicantly reduced 30- day mortality compared to ONCAB. is benet of OPCAB increased with increasing STS predicted risk (Fig. 17.1). e relationship between STS predicted risk of mor­tality and the relative mortality benet of OPCAB over ONCAB was conrmed among 876,081 patients in the STS National Database (Fig. 17.2). ese ndings were again reconrmed by a recent meta- analysis of 100 randomized controlled studies including 19,192 patients; these authors found signicantly reduced all- cause mortality and cerebrovascular events aer OPCAB among higher­risk patients.

Transfusion rate, respiratory complications, acute kidney injury, and perioperative low cardiac outputsyndrome
Bloodtransfusion
e need for perioperative transfusion of blood products has been linked to increased rates of various complications, particularly infec­tion. Results with OPCAB have consistently shown a decrease in the rate of perioperative transfusion compared to ONCAB, in both ran­domized trials and retrospective registry studies. e CORONARY trial, for example, found a transfusion rate of 50.7% versus 63.3% in favour of OPCAB (relative risk (RR) 0.61, 95% CI 0.40– 0.93; P <0.001). Deppe and colleagues’ meta- analysis of 51 RCTs conrmed this on a larger scale, with a transfusion rate of 40.4% with OPCAB and 50.8% with ONCAB (P <0.0001).
Renaldysfunction
Like perioperative transfusion, postoperative renal dysfunction is associated with poorer outcomes. Deppe etal.’s meta- analysis found a signicantly decreased incidence of perioperative acute kidney injury in patients who were operated using an o- pump approach (11.0% vs 13.1%; P <0.0003). However, there was no dierence in the need for renal replacement therapy, which was quite low across both groups (1.3% vs 1.7%; P=0.0945).

have a lower incidence of perioperative low cardiac output syn­drome, with an incidence of 4.9% versus 8.8% in a meta- analysis of published RCTs (P=0.0003).
e CORONARY tria l, the largest RCT of OPCAB versus ONCAB, showed a relative risk reduction for OPCAB versus ONCAB with re­spect to reoperation for bleeding (1.4% vs 2.4%; RR 0.61, 95% CI
0.40– 0.93; P=0.02), acute kidney injury (28.0% vs 32.1%; RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.80– 0.96; P=0.01) and respiratory complications (5.9% vs
7.5%; RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.63– 0.98; P=0.03). ese benets were also conrmed in multiple large- scale retrospective analyses of the STS Adult Cardiac Database.,,
OPCAB forredoCABG
Small single- surgeon series, and a meta- analysis of 3471 pa­tients have reported superior outcomes with OPCAB in the setting of repeat surgical coronary revascularization, including reduced risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, renal dysfunction, low car­diac output syndrome, and respiratory failure. Of course, many redo CABG cases are very dicult to perform without cardiopulmonary bypass and it may be dicult to adjust for selection bias in these comparisons.
follow- up, there remained no dierence in mortality (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.93– 1.26; P=0.3), myocardial infarction (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.75–
1.13; P=0.41), stroke (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.58– 1.19; P=0.32), new dia- lysis (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.58– 1.37; P=0.60), repeat revascularization (HR 1.21, 95% CI 0.85– 1.73; P =0.29) or the composite primary endpoint of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, renal failure, or repeat revascularization (HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.87– 1.10; P= 0.72). Similarly, the GOPCABE trial enrolled 2539 patients at 12 centres in Germany, most of whom were over 75years of age and randomized them to OPCAB versus ONCAB by surgeons who had an average experience of more than 500 OPCAB and more than 1300 ONCAB cases. GOPCABE reported a 1- year OPCAB mortality HR of 0.93 (95% CI 0.76– 1.16) compared to ONCAB. At 5years of follow­up, all- cause mortality aer OPCAB versus ONCAB was virtually identical (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.89– 1.19; P = 0.71), as was the inci­dence of the composite primary endpoint of death, myocardial in­farction, and repeat revascularization (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.89– 1.18; P = 0.70). Importantly, incomplete revascularization occurred in 34% of OPCAB patients and 29% of ONCAB patients (P <0.001). Incomplete revascularization was associated with a lower 5- year survival, irrespective of the type of surgery (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01–
1.39; P=0.04).
Longer- term outcomes ofOPCAB versusONCAB
In addition, a post- hoc analysis of the Arterial Revascularisation Trial (ART) compared risk- adjusted 5- year outcomes with OPCAB versus ONCAB and found no dierence in death or major adverse
e ROOBY trial, which randomly assigned 2203 patients to either OPCAB or ONCAB in the Veteran’s Administration hospital system in the United States, published 5- year mortality data in favour of ONCAB. Mortality at 5years was 15.2% in the OPCAB group, compared to 11.9% in patients who underwent on- pump surgery (P=0.02). e investigators also found an increase in major adverse cardiovascular events (31.0% vs 27.1%; P=0.046) and repeat CABG at 5years (1.4% vs 0.5%; P= 0.02) in the OPCAB group. ese results have been heavily criticized because of strikingly asymmetric sur­geon experience with OPCAB and ONCAB (only 20 prior OPCAB cases were required of surgeons to participate in ROOBY) and the fact that 60% of operations were performed by trainees supervised by these surgeons who were themselves relatively inexperienced in
cardiac and cerebrovascular events; at 10years of follow- up these results were unchanged.
e importance of surgeon and institutional experience in per­forming optimal OPCAB surgery was emphasized by a recent com­parison of outcomes for OPCAB versus ONCAB in low- volume and high- volume centres and by low- volume and high- volume sur­geons. is study of the United States National Inpatient Sample analysed more than 2million CABG cases and found that among surgeons performing more than 48 OPCAB case annually and in centres performing more than 164 OPCAB cases annually, there was a striking mortality benet for OPCAB. is benet was not found for patients operated by less experienced surgeons or in less experi­enced centres.
OPCAB. As a result, there was a 12% rate of intraoperative conver­sion from OPCAB to ONCAB in ROOBY, more than three times the conversion rate reported in the contemporary STS database. ese
Summary andconclusions
conversions are felt by critics to have signicantly diminished out­comes for OPCAB patients in the intention- to- treat analysis, since intraoperative conversion is known to result in higher rates of ad­verse events, including mortality, than either an OPCAB or ONCAB approach without the need for conversion. e ROOBY trial fuelled debate over the safety of OPCAB, particularly in the low- risk pa­tient population in which it was conducted, and focused attention on the technical challenge of accomplishing precise and complete surgical coronary revascularization o- pump. ROOBY raised the question of which surgeons should perform OPCAB and which pa­tients should have o- pump CABG.
In contrast to the ROOBY trial, outcomes of the larger CORONARY trial, which enrolled 4752 patients from 19 coun­tries operated by surgeons who had each performed more than 100 OPCAB cases, showed no dierence in any primary or secondary outcomes; the 1- year OPCAB mortality had a hazard ratio (HR) of
0.91 (95% CI 0.077– 1.07) compared to ONCAB. Aer 5years of
OPCAB is a technically demanding procedure and the expertise of the surgical and anaesthetic team is vital to optimize outcomes. Large propensity- matched observational registries have consist­ently reported that OPCAB is associated with reduced 30- day mortality, stroke, and overall major morbidity, especially when patient comorbidities render preoperative predicted risk of mor­tality greater than 2.5%. However, among low- or very low- risk pa­tients, there is likely no demonstrable mortality benet of OPCAB over ONCAB.
Among the three largest RCTs, one (ROOBY) reported inferior 1- year and 5- year outcomes with OPCAB, while CORONARY and GOPCABE reported similar outcomes with OPCAB and ONCAB at 30days, 1year, and 5years. ere is strong evidence from network meta- analyses that OPCAB performed with a no- aortic- touch tech­nique reduces incidence of mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, renal failure, bleeding, and atrial brillation (Fig. 17.3). However,

studies, including 37,720 patients operated with four techniques:on- pump CABG, OPCABG- PC (off- pump CABG with partial aortic clamping for proximal anastomoses), OPCABG- HS (off- pump CABG with clampless proximal anastomoses on the ascending aorta with Heartstring® facilitating device), and anOPCABG (off- pump CABG with no- aortic- touch technique). Odds ratios for each adverse event may be compared between any pair of alternative surgical techniques by reading the box at the intersection of the vertical column and horizontal row corresponding to the two techniques being compared. No- aortic- touch off- pump CABG showed highly significant advantages over other techniques for mortality, stroke, renal failure, bleeding, and atrial fibrillation.

it is also clear that gra patency can be poorer with OPCAB, espe­cially with vein gra conduits among less expert surgeons. Formal training, mentoring, and expert team building should be routine to develop the technical and mental skill set necessary to accomplish reproducibly precise OPCAB surgery. DAPT should also be used routine early aer OPCAB in the absence of contraindications.
Aer 30 years and more than 100 RCTs, what can be con­dently said about the OPCAB controversy? First, both OPCAB and ONCAB procedures have excellent short- term outcomes with low mortality when performed by experienced surgeons. Second, in experienced hands both techniques assure similar mid- term survival. Retrospective studies have shown that avoidance of car­diopulmonary bypass and aortic manipulation reduces the risk of stroke and operative mortality in high- risk patients. As the popu­lation of the developed world ages and the prevalence of diabetes and coronary artery disease continues to increase, surgical coronary revascularization will remain a vital and common therapy. It is crit­ically important that we continuously rene our techniques for sur­gical coronary revascularization, both on- pump and o- pump, to better serve these patients with complex comorbidities.

Introduction
Surgical revascularization of the heart has been an integral part of the management of coronary artery disease for more than half a cen­tury. Over this time period, mortality rates have dropped from 10% in 1971 to 1.9% in 2009. However, patient levels of comorbidity con­tinues to increase. According to the Society of oracic Surgeons (STS) National Database, even between 2000 and 2009, rates of dia-
congestive cardiac failure from 7.9% to 11.9%, and le main stem disease from 14% to 21%. More urgent procedures were performed (38% to 54%), internal thoracic artery use slightly increased (88% vs 95%), and o- pump coronary artery bypass graing (CABG) increased in popularity (14% vs 21%), but otherwise there was no major change in surgical technique. Unfortunately, the decrease in major morbidity has not been as universal, with small absolute drops in mortality (2.4% to 1.9%) and stroke (1.6% to 1.2%) over the same time period, but rates of renal failure, reoperation for bleeding, deep sternal wound infection and atrial brillation remaining un­changed. More recent data show that the prevalence of most of these comorbidities is not reduced (diabetes 43%, le main disease 32%, urgent CABG 56%).
Some of the improvements that have been made in surgical out­comes thus far can be attributed to more preventative medicine. In the same database study, beta- blocker, angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitor, and aspirin use all increased. However, use of these medications for optimizing the medical therapy of these patients is nearing maximum penetration in the United States and Western Europe. In addition, since the late 1990s, delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, mild respiratory disease, subclinical renal impairment, glucose intolerance, frailty, and an­aemia have been identied as risk factors for perioperative mor­bidity and mortality.
In order to continue to drive improvements in outcomes in these patients, it will be imperative to identify non- cardiac factors which contribute to morbidity and mortality and develop perioperative medical therapies to mitigate them.
Carotid stenosis, perioperative stroke risk, and carotidendarterectomy
Coronary artery disease shares many of the same risk factors and pathophysiology as cerebral and peripheral vascular disease, so it is not surprising that half of CABG candidates have subclinical ischaemic in­farcts on magnetic resonance imaging scan preoperatively, with mag­netic resonance angiography demonstrating 25% with internal carotid disease, and 41% external carotid disease, and that the relative risk of perioperative stroke in these patients is ve times higher. However, this does not imply a causal association, since 76% of perioperative strokes are thought to be embolic, with only 5.3% of perioperative strokes ana­tomically correlated to carotid stenosis. It is likely that carotid stenosis is a marker for other causes of perioperative stroke, for example, ath­erosclerotic plaque in the ascending aorta and aortic arch.
e question remains whether carotid endarterectomy pre- or intraoperatively decreases stroke rate, and if so, what severity of stenosis mandates carotid endarterectomy. Guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA), and the European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery are shown in Table 18.1.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction occurs in a considerable number of patients and may result in reduced quality of life fol­lowing otherwise successful surgery. However, perioperative as­sessment of patients’ cognitive function requires a lengthy battery of neuropsychological tests evaluating learning, memory, attention, concentration, and psychomotor speed, as well as language and

Our current understanding is that late postoperative cognitive dysfunc-

tion is primarily associated with natural progression of cardio- and cerebrovascular disease risk factors.
Predictors of delirium aer cardiac surgery include advanced age, preoperative cognitive impairment, major depression, an­aemia, and atrial brillation, some of which are potentially amen­able to optimization in the preassessment clinic. e perioperative causes of delirium are multifactorial including blood pressure uc­tuations, regional cerebral hypoxia, microembolization, handling the aorta, drug eects, and inammatory response from surgery, as well as drug side eects, pain, disorientation, and sleep deprivation.
e consequences of delirium are devastating. ey include a 10– 20% higher all- cause mortality for every 48 hours of delirium, a twofold increased risk of post- discharge institutionalization and death, up to a tenfold increased risk of longer- term dementia, ac­celerated functional decline, and extremely high costs to healthcare.
Patients at high risk for delirium may be candidates for targeted pharmacological therapy in order to reduce the risk of delirium. Dexmedetomidine and ketamine have surfaced as two potential contenders to mitigate the risk of delirium. Unfortunately, initial
Chronic respiratory disease is a risk factor in the established risk prediction systems, in terms of both mortality and prolonged ven­tilation. Prolonged ventilation is a more powerful risk factor for ventilator- associated pneumonia, and oen also results in tracheos­tomy. e timing of this intervention should be planned in advance, as performing a tracheostomy within 48 hours may be associated with deep sternal wound infection, but mortality rates increase steadily from postoperative day ve if tracheostomy is withheld. e strongest interventions for preventing postoperative respira­tory failure are lung- protective ventilation, avoiding unnecessary blood product administration, and fast- track extubation protocols, but these are already a standard of care in most institutions.
Minimally invasive surgical approaches and/ or thoracic epidural analgesia could potentially reduce the incidence further but they are technically challenging, and introduce their own complications; these should be considered on a case- by- case basis.
Preoperative interventions to reduce risk of respiratory failure are an area of potential gain. Screening for mild chronic obstructive

Renaldisease
Anaemia
Exposure to allogenic blood transfusion is well known to worsen Patients presenting for CABG share risk factors for renal impair­ment, particularly hypertension and diabetes. Acute kidney injury occurs frequently (5– 8%) aer cardiac surgery, and the association between postoperative acute kidney injury and increased mortality is well known. However, preoperative decreased glomerular l­tration rate (GFR) is present in one- quarter of patients, and, once the GFR is less than 50– 60 mL/ min, mortality rates are increased threefold. ese patients could potentially benet from treatment adaptions made in the preassessment clinic. Minimization of drugs which exacerbate renal dysfunction, such as non- steroidal anti­inammatories, loop diuretics, synthetic colloids, and iodinated contrast agents is advisable. One study showed the potential benets of perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine in mitigating renal injury aer cardiac surgery.
outcomes after cardiac surgery, leading to increased rates of
deep sternal wound infection, renal failure, ventilator- associated
pneumonia, and even late graft failure. This has led to scrupu-
lous efforts to avoid transfusion with intraoperative cell salvage,
point- of- care coagulation testing, and restrictive transfusion
triggers, which are all now standards of care in many institutions.
However, patients with low baseline haemoglobin concentrations
are still likely to receive red cell transfusion as a result of car-
diopulmonary bypass- related haemodilution and perioperative
bleeding.
e most common cause of preoperative anaemia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is functional iron deciency. e same study identied that elevated plasma hepcidin, a key protein responsible for iron regulation, was associated with worse out­come.

tional status. However, most studies in cardiac surgery have util­ized intravenous iron in lieu of blood transfusion postoperatively, where it is ineective in reducing red cell transfusion, due to insuf­cient dosing and time required for erythropoiesis.
Erythropoietin infusion between 1 and 3 weeks preoperatively has a potent eect on reducing rates of red cell transfusion, but it is expensive and requires several treatments over a period of weeks. ere are several scoring systems which can predict the need for red cell transfusion, one example of which is the Transfusion Risk Understanding Scoring Tool (TRUST) (Table 18.2).
particularly in those who are insulin dependent, with haemo­globin A1c (HbA1c) scores greater than 7%, or newly diagnosed. Importantly, HbA1c is also a potent preoperative biomarker for adverse events, even in patients who are not known to be diabetic. Given that the impact of tight perioperative glucose control is un­certain at best, this is an area where gains can best be made in the months preceding surgery, and detection and optimization of dia­betes and impaired glucose tolerance should take place in parallel with rst surgical referral.
Frailty
Predictive risk scoring systems in cardiac surgery generally rely on discreet clinical factors to calculate an aggregated risk of death or morbidity based on regression analysis of large datasets. However, this approach does not allow for an assessment of physiological performance and reserve.
