Hybrid coronaryrevascularization

Introduction
drug- eluting stents and bare- metal stents and improved safety proles
compared to rst- generation drug- eluting stents.
Traditionally, the treatment of coronary artery disease has been
divided among medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graing (CABG). However,
with hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR), both PCI and
CABG are utilized to treat dierent lesions in the same patient;
the goal being to take advantage of the benets of each procedure
while minimizing their limitations. is chapter will discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of HCR, patient selection, and
the various techniques and strategies used in successful HCR
programmes.
Hybrid coronaryrevascularization
e Society of oracic Surgeons database denes HCR as a procedure in which both CABG and PCI are performed during the
same admission, whether as planned or unplanned procedures, and
including any CABG approach including full sternotomy. Amore
specic standardized denition has been proposed in which HCR
is dened as a planned combination of surgical and percutaneous
techniques in two dierent coronary territories, both scheduled and
Comparing CABG and percutaneous
coronaryintervention
In CABG, the le internal thoracic artery (LITA) is typically anastomosed to the le anterior descending artery (LAD), with the remainder of bypasses typically performed with saphenous vein gras.
While LITA- to- LAD patency is greater than 90% at 10years, up
to 25% of saphenous vein gras fail within the rst year and 50%
of saphenous vein gras may fail within 10years. Although some
surgeons have adopted a multi- arterial graing strategy based on
observational data that supports improved patency and long- term
mortality with bilateral internal thoracic arteries and radial artery
conduits, this strategy currently has not been widely adopted into
practice.
Compared to PCI, CABG is associated with improved long- term
survival, greater completeness of revascularization, better longterm relief from angina, and lower repeat revascularization in patients with multivessel disease. However, periprocedural morbidity
is signicantly lower with PCI compared to CABG, including lower
rates of stroke, atrial brillation, blood transfusions, and other
complications.
While the use of bare- metal stents was associated with relatively high
rates of restenosis and stent thrombosis, drug- eluting stents have improved the ecacy and safety of PCI. Second- generation drug- eluting
stents may oer superior ecacy compared to both rst- generation
performed within a dened period. is denition more accurately
reects HCR as practised in most centres and as described in this
chapter.
Advantages ofHCR
A revascularization strategy combining PCI and CABG has several
potential benets. By performing a minimally invasive surgical approach, the complications and morbidity of CABG can be potentially minimized. Cardiopulmonary bypass is usually avoided, and
the risk of stroke may be greatly reduced by completely avoiding
aortic manipulation. Importantly, the major benet of CABG, the
LITA– LAD gra, is still provided.
Due to the decreased invasiveness of HCR, shorter recovery
times are typical with HCR compared to traditional CABG.
Complex LAD disease is particularly challenging with PCI, and
the LITA- to- LAD performed as part of HCR can provide denitive treatment for the LAD. Carefully selected high- risk patients
for traditional CABG may also benet from the less invasive
strategy of HCR by avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic manipulation, and sternotomy.
Disadvantages ofHCR
e main disadvantage associated with HCR is the low adoption rate
and greater required expertise associated with minimally invasive
CABG. Similar to other non- sternotomy approaches for cardiac surgery, learning curves must be overcome, LITA– LAD patency must

SECTION 7 Technical aspects ofcoronary artery bypass graft surgery360
https://t.me/medicina_free
be comparable to sternotomy approaches, and procedural times
should be comparable if not improved. Furthermore, HCR patients
undergo two procedures (PCI and CABG), and the costs associated
with this approach need to be considered. At the authors’ institution,
the increased procedural costs have been oset by the decreased
postoperative costs.
Patientselection
Patients with complex LAD disease not easily amenable to PCI and
less complex disease in non- LAD vessels may benet from HCR.
In current series, patients most commonly have two- vessel disease.
However, patients with three- vessel disease may also be eligible, especially if they present with focal, non- complex lesions in the circumex and/ or right coronary artery territories. High operative
risk with conventional CABG and poor non- LAD bypass targets
are also reasons to consider HCR over conventional surgery. One
meta- analysis showed that the average ejection fraction of patients
undergoing HCR was 55%, with a SYNTAX score of 24– 35 (inter-

mediate). It is important to note that presently the type of patients
who are oered HCR in centres that perform HCR are treated with
multivessel PCI in centres that do not perform HCR. us, in most
hybrid centres, most HCR is not a substitute for multivessel CABG,
but rather a substitute for multivessel PCI.
HCR patients must be eligible for minimally invasive CABG.
Patients with adhesions from previous le chest surgery or large
body habitus increase the diculty of the procedure. e LAD itself
must be appropriate for a minimally invasive approach; a small or
calcied target vessel or intramyocardial LAD may greatly increase
the diculty of the procedure. While these factors are not absolute
contraindications, they should be carefully weighed by the Heart
Team to decide if the patient would most benefit from HCR.
Box 51.1 summarizes common contraindications to HCR.
Roboticapproaches
Two robotic approaches are commonly used in HCR:robotic- assisted
MIDCAB and total endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB). In
both approaches, the da Vinci® Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical,
Sunnyvale, CA, USA) is used. Aer placing a camera port laterally,
typically in the fourth intercostal space, working ports are placed
superiorly and inferiorly, typically in the second and sixth intercostal spaces (Fig. 51.1). From the console, the surgeon then harvests the LITA from the chest wall (Fig. 51.2) and divides it distally.
Monopolar and bipolar cautery are used, and branches can also be
divided with robotically applied clips.
e pericardium is opened and the LAD identied. In roboticassisted MIDCAB, a precision non- rib- spreading thoracotomy is
next made directly over the LAD at the planned site of anastomosis.
Minimally invasive surgicalapproaches
Minimally invasive direct coronary arterybypass
e LITA- to- LAD anastomosis is performed using a minimally invasive coronary stabilizer introduced through the inferior port site.
In minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB),
a small anterolateral thoracotomy is used which allows exposure
of the heart as well as the LITA, though some centres use a hemisternotomy. Aspecialized retractor is used which both spreads the
ribs and elevates the cranial ribs to better expose the LITA. Under
direct visualization, the LITA is then harvested from the chest wall.
Next, the pericardium is divided, the LAD identied, and a handsewn LITA- to- LAD anastomosis is facilitated by using an o- pump
coronary stabilizer. Both on- and o- pump approaches have been
described.

Timing ofsurgery and percutaneous coronary
intervention
Timing of procedures in HCR can be broadly grouped into three
categories:concomitant or one- stage, staged with CABG rst, and
staged with PCI rst. Amajority of HCR procedures are staged with
minimally invasive CABG most commonly performed rst. e
general rule for patients undergoing HCR is to treat the culprit or
most critical coronary lesion rst.
e concomitant approach can only be performed in centres with
a fully equipped hybrid operating room. Most commonly, minimally invasive CABG is completed rst and is immediately followed
by PCI. e advantages of this approach are one procedural setting for the patient and immediate assessment of LITA- to- LAD patency. e major disadvantages are challenges in the management
of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy during both procedures
and logistical challenges related to scheduling and timing of two different specialist teams.
In patients with acute coronary syndromes, performing PCI rst
has the advantage of treating the non- LAD culprit lesion immediately to eliminate the risk of ongoing ischaemia. e patient can then
safely undergo minimally invasive CABG, either during the initial
Fig.51.3 Postoperative skin incision after robotic- assisted MIDCAB.
Conversely, in TECAB, the LITA- to- LAD anastomosis is completed
hospitalization or weeks to months later, depending on the severity
of LAD disease. Depending on whether or not a drug- eluting stent
is used, this may require that minimally invasive LITA- to- LAD
graing be performed on dual antiplatelet therapy. In the authors’
experience, robotic- assisted MIDCAB is feasible and safe with patients on aspirin plus clopidogrel, despite a slightly higher risk of
reoperation for bleeding and higher chest drainage. Table 51.1 sum-
marizes these potential advantages and disadvantages.

Outcomes
Developing a successful HCR programme requires a multidisciplinary team eort to be successful and is dependent on a collaborative environment to oer a unique treatment option for carefully
selected patients with multivessel disease. In addition, dedicated
anaesthesia and operating room and catheterization laboratory personnel are important to ensure successful procedural outcomes with
minimally invasive CABG and PCI (Fig. 51.5).
e majority of the evidence to date supporting HCR comes from
single institutional series. At the authors’ institution, operative
mortality is less than 1%, perioperative stroke is comparable to PCI
at 0.6%, and the mediastinitis rate has been zero. However, several
studies have also shown slightly higher repeat revascularization
events in patients treated with HCR compared to CABG, due to increased repeat interventions in PCI- treated vessels. Amulticentre
observational trial showed no dierence in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular evens (MACCE) at 1year between HCR

to slow recruitment of patients. One randomized study has been
conducted which compared HCR (MIDCAB) to conventional
CABG in 200 patients. MACCE were not dierent between groups
at 1year (89.8% HCR vs 92.2% conventional CABG), and LITAto- LAD patency was also comparable at 94% vs 93%. At 5- year
follow- up in the same randomized controlled trial, all- cause mortality was similar between groups (6.4% in HCR vs 9.2% in CABG;

Conclusion
HCR has evolved as a ‘best of both worlds’ approach for the treatment of selected patients with multivessel disease, the large majority
of whom would otherwise be treated with multivessel PCI. In patients with non- LAD disease amenable to PCI and LAD disease
amenable to minimally invasive LITA– LAD graing, HCR represents a viable alternative for revascularization. ere are currently
several minimally invasive surgical techniques, and all have been
shown to be successful among experienced surgeons. Implementing
a hybrid programme will provide an additional treatment option for
selected patients with multivessel coronary disease and oers those

Surgical techniques tobypass
diffuse coronarydisease
Toshihiro Fukui and Shuichiro Takanashi
Introduction
With the recent and rapid advances in percutaneous coronary intervention, the rate of high- risk patients with severe disease referred
for coronary artery bypass graing (CABG) has been increasing.
Among these patients are those with diusely diseased coronary
arteries, including severe calcications or so plaques in the vessel
wall. Coronary endarterectomy has been used to treat severely or
diusely diseased coronary arteries since the 1950s. However, early
experiences with this method were not satisfactory in terms of the
clinical results compared with conventional bypass graing.,
Long segmental reconstruction with or without endarterectomy
has been used as an alternative to conventional bypass graing to
treat severely or diusely diseased coronary arteries.– e advantage of this method is that the myocardium supplied by the
side branches of the diusely diseased coronary segment can be
revascularized. is advantage cannot be achieved with conventional graing to the distal le anterior descending artery (LAD)
alone because it would not perfuse the diseased and more proximal
segments. Concomitant endarterectomy with plaque removal is performed if the plaque includes hard diuse calcication.
As surgical techniques and technologies have evolved, the benets
of long segmental reconstruction with or without endarterectomy
for the treatment of the diseased LAD have gradually become recognized. us, today, long segmental reconstruction with or without
endarterectomy complements conventional bypass graing as a surgical revascularization method for patients with diusely diseased
coronary arteries. In this chapter, we review the technical aspects
and outcomes of this surgical method.
Indications
Long segmental reconstruction with or without endarterectomy is
usually performed for diusedly diseased coronary arteries that have
long segmental stenoses because of severe calcication or atheromatous plaque, especially in diusely diseased distal vessels with luminal diameters less than 1.5mm, as determined on preoperative
angiography. Occasionally, the decision to perform long segmental
reconstruction with endarterectomy is made intraoperatively, when
a normal anastomosis cannot be carried out because of the presence
of large so plaques, which would be at high risk of distal embolism
following their rupture. More commonly, endarterectomy is performed because of hard, diuse calcied plaque. ese situations
sometimes cannot be anticipated by preoperative angiography. With
endarterectomy, an anastomosis site can be obtained when there are
complex intimal lesions, severe calcications, or so plaques, all of
which rule out the establishment of typical anastomoses.
e target artery for performing long segmental reconstruction is
most commonly the LAD. Long segmental reconstruction of a diffusely diseased LAD has the advantage of providing a blood supply
to the diagonal and septal arteries, which can relieve ischaemia in
the anterior and septal territories of the heart. e advantage of long
segmental reconstruction with or without endarterectomy of the
LAD over conventional bypass graing is particularly important because incomplete revascularization is a predictor of a higher mortality rate aer CABG. By contrast, long segmental reconstruction
with or without endarterectomy of the le circumex or right coronary artery is less commonly performed because the patency rates
of these vessels are worse than that of the LAD.
We do not perform long segmental reconstruction when the myocardium supplied by the target vessel has no viability due to large
areas involved by previous myocardial infarction. us, preoperative myocardial viability testing is performed in patients with areas
of akinetic or dyskinetic myocardium due to its supply by diusely
diseased arteries.
Techniques oflong segmentalreconstruction
Withendarterectomy
Atheroma and calcication in the middle LAD can be observed
by inspection from the adventitia. Coronary endarterectomy is
performed manually, without the use of forced carbon dioxide or
excimer laser. e manual techniques consist of closed and open
methods. Closed endarterectomy is carried out by traction of the

distal endarterectomized intima through a small proximal arteriotomy. is method is relatively fast but it has several disadvantages,
including possible severance of the diagonal branches and septal
perforators and occlusion of the distal end of the lumen by a dissection, due to an insucient endarterectomy. e open method is
more time- consuming but the openings of the side branches and
the distal end of the LAD can be observed directly. We therefore
prefer the open method with a long segmental incision rather than
the closed traction- counter traction method (Fig. 52.1).,
In the open method as performed by our group, the incision is
initially made in the middle, but relatively distal, portion of the LAD
and then extended proximally and distally. e atheromatous core
is carefully dissected from the adventitia with a ne spatula and forceps. All side branches involved in the atheroma are observed directly and their intimae are carefully dissected and removed. e
proximal atheromatous core is sharply divided to avoid removing
the most proximal stenotic lesion. e distal end of the atheromatous core is also sharply divided at the intact intima, with the distal
side completed before the intimal diameter tapers to less than 1mm.
e posterior wall of the divided intima of the distal LAD is tacked
with 8- 0 polypropylene sutures. Saline irrigation is performed on
the adventitial surface to remove the fragments of atheromatous
core or media as these can be the cause of distal embolism.
e incised part of the LAD is reconstructed using the in situ le
interior thoracic artery (LITA). Due to its superior patency rate, we
prefer using the LITA rather than a saphenous vein gra or other
arterial gras. e LITA is dissected in a skeletonized fashion and
incised to match the length of the LAD. Long reconstruction of the
incised LAD using the LITA is performed with several 8- 0 and 70 polypropylene sutures. First, the proximal LAD and the heel of
the LITA are anastomosed using the parachute technique and an
8- 0 polypropylene suture. e distal LAD and the toe of the LITA
are then anastomosed to match the length of the latter artery, again
using 8- 0 polypropylene suture. Next, the two sides of the LITA and
LAD are anastomosed using 7- 0 polypropylene sutures. During
LITA anastomosis, care must be taken not to injure the side branches
of the LAD.
CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass (o- pump) is our rst
choice for surgical revascularization. Other investigators have demonstrated that endarterectomy without cardiopulmonary bypass can

managed with antiplatelet and anticoagulation agents. Intravenous
heparin is started when the drainage from the mediastinum is less
than 100 mL/ hour. Low- dose aspirin (100 mg/ day) and clopidogrel
(75 mg/ day) are prescribed beginning the day aer surgery, at which
time warfarin, maintained with a target international normalized
ratio of 2.0, is also started. Intravenous heparin is continued until
the target international normalized ratio is achieved. Warfarin and
clopidogrel administration are stopped aer 3 and 12months respectively but aspirin is continued indenitely in all patients.
In patients without endarterectomy, early occlusion rarely occurs. However, intravenous heparin is administered for several days.
Low- dose aspirin and clopidogrel are prescribed similar to a case of
endarterectomy.
Early postoperative angiography is performed during the same
hospitalization to conrm gra patency in all patients who provided
informed consent. Angiography is carried out 1year postoperatively.

Early and long- term clinicaloutcomes
Historically, postoperative mortality and morbidity following endarterectomy were high (up to 9%). However, with advances in

ventricular function, intramyocardial coronary arteries, or redo surgery will require on- pump CABG.
Withoutendarterectomy
e initial incision is initially made in the distal portion of the LAD
and then extended proximally and distally (Fig. 52.2). e anterior
wall of the LAD with atheromatous core is carefully incised longitudinally towards the proximal side. is longitudinal incision
should be kept in the middle of the anterior wall of the LAD as far
as possible. e proximal end of the incision is stopped at the relatively normal intima. e distal end of the incision is also stopped at
the intact intima, with the distal side completed before the intimal
diameter reaches 1mm.
e incised part of the LAD is reconstructed using the in situ skeletonized LITA. is method is fundamentally almost the same as the
technique described previously for the long segmental reconstruction with endarterectomy. Long reconstruction of the incised LAD
using the LITA is performed with several 8- 0 and 7- 0 polypropylene
sutures. e anastomoses between the LITA and the proximal and
distal LAD are performed using 8- 0 sutures. e two sides of the
LITA and LAD are anastomosed using 7- 0 polypropylene sutures.
During side anastomoses, plaque is excluded from the inside of the
surgical technique and perioperative management, endarterectomy is considered to be a safe procedure and the outcomes are
favourable., In their meta- analysis, Wang et al. evaluated the
early and long- term outcomes of patients undergoing endarterectomy. Overall mortality was 5.4%, but the rates reported aer
2000 (4.3%) were better than those reported before 2000 (5.9%).
In our experience, patients undergoing endarterectomy have a
mortality rate of 2.7%, similar to that determined by other investigators., On the other hand, the early mortality rate of long
segmental reconstruction without endarterectomy was 1.3% in
our experience. e higher mortality rate associated with endarterectomy than with isolated CABG may be attributed to the role
played by associated comorbidities and risk factors rather than to
the endarterectomy per se.
According to the previously mentioned meta- analysis, the
long- term survival rate of patients undergoing endarterectomy is
similar to that of patients treated by isolated CABG (hazard ratio
1.16, 95% condence interval 0.32– 4.22; P=0.82). In our experience, the overall 10- year survival rate and the freedom from major
adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing long segmental reconstruction with endarterectomy are 74.9% and 89.5% respectively. ese results were comparable to those in patients without
endarterectomy (73.6% and 70.4%).
anastomosis line. is means that the new lumen is created by the
LITA and the less diseased coronary artery. All side branches of the
LAD are included in the new lumen.

Postoperativemanagement
In patients who undergo long segmental reconstruction with endarterectomy, the major serious complication is early occlusion
of the endarterectomized vessel. is is oen as a result of local
hypercoagulation related to a triggering of the coagulation cascade by the lack of endothelium in the early postoperative stage.
Consequently, endarterectomy must be carefully and closely
Qureshi etal. reported that the early and interval patency rates of
the endarterectomized artery were 83% and 75%, respectively. In
the series of Goldstein etal., the early and late patency rates of the
endarterectomized LAD were 100% and 75%, respectively. Nishi
etal. reported that the patency rate following endarterectomy is a
function of the chosen surgical method. At mid- term follow- up,
the grade Apatency rates (stenosis- or occlusion- free anastomoses)
obtained with the open and closed methods were 76.1% and 38.1%
respectively, although the overall patency rates of the two groups

were comparable (89.1% and 81.0%). Intravascular ultrasonography showed that the intima of the LITA became circumferential,
with the growth of new intima in vessels endarterectomized using
the open method. ese angiographic results support the use of the
open over the closed method.
In our experience, patency rates of both the ITA and LAD
were 95.7% in patients with long segmental reconstruction with
or without endarterectomy. Fig. 52.3 and Fig. 52.4 show the representative cases of both procedures. However, long segmental reconstruction without endarterectomy was better than that with
endarterectomy (99.0% versus 92.1%; P = 0.03). Moreover, the
follow- up (mean; 12.9months aer operation) patency rate of long
segmental reconstruction without endarterectomy was better than
that with endarterectomy (97.6 vs 89.7%; P=0.05). In patients with
a patent LAD at follow- up, no restenosis was observed in the reconstructed segment.
Conclusion
Long segmental reconstruction with or without endarterectomy of
a diusely diseased LAD using the LITA is one surgical option in
patients who may not be candidates for conventional CABG. is
technique carries several advantages over conventional CABG.
First, it creates a new intraluminal wall composed of the ITA intima and disease- free coronary artery wall, which may contribute
to long- term patency of the reconstructed LAD. Second, the ostia
of the side branches can be seen directly, which leads to a secure

patients undergoing long segmental reconstruction with or without
