Off-pump versus on-pump
Although there are some data showing improved or equivalent in-hospital mortality of women who undergo o-pump CABG compared to men and to women who undergo on-pump CABG, conclusive evidence has been limited by selection bias and omis­sion of analysis of several important risk factors that are known to inuence mortality.– Review by the 2005 STS Workforce on Evidence-Based Surgery has led to a classIIa (level of evidence B) recommendation that the indications for o-pump CABG are the same for women as they are for men. However, a 2007 intention­to-treat analysis of 42,477 consecutive CABG cases from the STS National Cardiac Database found that adjusted odds ratios for death and most major complications in both men and women were sig­nicantly lower with o-pump CABG than with on-pump CABG. Among on-pump CABG cases only, women had a signicantly greater adjusted risk of death, prolonged ventilation and prolonged length of stay than men. In contrast, among o-pump CABG cases, women had lower risk of re-exploration than men and similar risks for death, myocardial infarction and prolonged ventilation and hos­pital stay.
Outcomes
Shortterm
Comparisons of 30-day outcomes aer CABG between women and men are controversial. Both increased mortality in women com­pared to men,,,– as well as equivalent 30-day mortality in women versus men, have been demonstrated. Arecent analysis of all Medicare beneciaries undergoing CABG in the United States from 1999 to 2014 showed a higher mortality for women under­going CABG compared to men while in-hospital, at 30days and at 1year. Some studies have suggested that the dierence in mortality may be more pronounced between younger women and men as women less than 50years of age were three times more likely to ex­perience in-hospital mortality than men (3.4% vs 1.1%) and women 50–59years of age who were 2.4 times more likely to die than men (2.6% vs 1.1%). Although several theories have been proposed to contribute to mortality dierences between men and women in­cluding the inuence of sex hormones on coronary disease, generally smaller coronary arteries in women, and referral and ascertainment bias, these remain speculative. Multivariate analyses of risk factors found to be associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality in women have included older age, heart failure, diabetes, chronic obstructive lung disease, and ascending aorta atherosclerosis.,  Despite the sex dierence in mortality aer CABG, overall mortality aer CABG has been declining in both sexes.,
Longterm
Long-term follow-up of hospital survivors following CABG indi­cates at least equivalent, if not increased, benet for women com­pared to men independent of conduit choice (Fig. 58.4). In a group of women receiving BITA bypass graing compared to a matched cohort of male patients receiving the same, there was no signicant dierence in long-term related mortality, late percutaneous cor­onary intervention, or reoperation for coronary disease. In fact,

there were signicantly more cardiac-related deaths in men than women at 15years.

Cardiacrehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is indicated aer acute coronary syndrome, a diagnosis of heart failure, percutaneous coronary intervention or open-heart surgery. is multidisciplinary outpatient programme has been shown to reduce overall and cardiovascular-related mortality and is recommended in both American and European Guidelines., Data show that women compared to men are less likely to be referred to and enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation pro­grammes. ough the reasons for low enrolment are multifac­torial, surgeon reinforcement of these recommendations can help improve participation.

Conclusion
Cardiovascular disease poses the greatest health threat to women in the developed world. Despite the fact that up until 2013 in the United States more women than men died annually of cardiovas­cular disease, women remain underdiagnosed and undertreated for cardiovascular disease.
Women gain the same benet of prolonged survival as men fol­lowing surgical revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease and the same prolonged survival from arterial graing. Based on available data, cardiac surgeons should be empowered to increase revascularization rates and utilization of ITA and radial ar­terial conduits in women. To further optimize prevention, diagnosis, and surgical management of women with cardiovascular disease, the specic impact of female sex must be studied in both basic sci­ence research and clinical trials on cardiovascular disease.

Coronary artery bypass graing in octogenarians
Derrick Y. Tam, Reena Karkhanis, and Stephen E. Fremes
Introduction
e prevalence of coronary artery disease in the elderly is high and has been shown to be greater than 80% in patients over the age of 80years. In a very early study of 84 consecutive symptom­atic octogenarians undergoing angiography, 57% of patients had three-vessel disease while 13% of patients had le main disease, suggesting that 70% of patients had surgical disease. Coronary ar­tery bypass graing (CABG) remains the treatment of choice in selected patients with advanced coronary disease in the absence of surgical contraindications. While much of the data presented in this chapter is not from the current decade, there are some re­cent studies that have examined trends and outcomes in the con­temporary era. An analysis of four Canadian centres from 1996 to 2001 showed a signicant increase in the number of octogenarians undergoing isolated CABG from 3.8% to 6.2% with a simultan­eous signicant decline in early mortality (25% to 10%). More recently, a single-centre retrospective analysis from 1999 to 2016 showed a doubling in the number of octogenarian and older pa­tients undergoing cardiac surgery from 4.5% to 9.3%. In the same time period, predicted mortality by logistic EuroSCORE remained steady at 9–10% while observed mortality decreased signicantly from 9.4 to 4.7%.
Risk factors formortality
Octogenarians typically present with more surgical risk factors compared to younger patients. Several studies have shown that the incidence of chronic heart failure, preoperative renal insuciency, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and previous myocardial infarction are higher in octogenarians compared to younger patients. Furthermore, octogenarians may be less likely to undergo invasive work-up for coronary artery disease until pre­senting with an urgent or emergent indication and hence may be more likely to undergo urgent or emergent surgery. e prevalence of aortic plaque and aortic atherosclerosis burden is likely higher in elderly individuals. Even in the general population of patients
of all ages undergoing CABG, epiaortic ultrasound scanning has shown that 50% of patients have some degree of atheroma in the ascending aorta.
Frailty, a syndrome of decreased physiological reserve that leads to vulnerability to stressors (such as cardiac surgery), has been well described in the cardiac surgery literature. e prevalence of frailty is highest in those aged over 65years; frailty can also aect up to 12% of younger patients, highlighting the important distinction be­tween chronological age and biological age. Measures of frailty range from the traditional end of the bed ‘eyeball test’ (i.e. clinical gestalt, a measure that has been shown to have poor inter-rater reliability) to objective phenotypic assessment tools that examine physiological domains such as gait speed, handgrip strength, weight, and other measures of physical activity. Poor functional reserve can lead to increased morbidity and mortality aer CABG; reduced lung com­pliance and weak respiratory muscle strength may result in higher postoperative ventilatory failure while decreased kidney reserve may lead to acute kidney injury. Other age-related central nervous system changes may lead to higher incidences of delirium and de­layed postoperative recovery. e use of multimodal frailty scores and scales may help predict outcomes aer CABG. Not surprisingly, frailty has been shown to be a strong predictor of in-hospital mor­tality. e use of the Clinical Frailty Scale shows a robust gradient response with mortality; those with the highest scores had an almost six times odds of in-hospital mortality and tripling in the hazard for mid-term mortality.
While various scores such as the Society of oracic Surgeons score or the EuroSCORE have been traditionally used to predict mortality in patients undergoing CABG (Fig. 59.1), these tools may not be as accurate in octogenarians. Risk factors that are pertinent to an elderly population such as frailty, marked skeletal abnormal­ities, and neurocognitive impairment are not captured in traditional risk models and hence the accuracy of these scores in octogenarians may be limited. Afundamental aw of these risk scores is that they were determined in patients who were accepted (not rejected) for surgery. Acomprehensive frailty assessment by a gerontologist may uncover additional details that can be used to predict an individual patient’s course in hospital.

CABG versus percutaneous coronary intervention versus medicaltherapy
An analysis of the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcomes Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH), a clinical and administrative database, suggests that the absolute risk reduc­tion for late mortality with CABG compared to medical therapy or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was highest in octogen­arians compared to younger patients. CABG and PCI were associ­ated with an absolute risk dierence of 17% and 11%, respectively, compared to medical therapy. Four-year adjusted survival rates for CABG, PCI, and medical therapy were 77.4%, 71.6%, and 60.3%, respectively. ese ndings suggest that octogenarians still derive benet from aggressive revascularization strategies.
In an observational comparison of PCI versus CABG for octo­genarians with two- or three-vessel disease in the Northern New England Cardiovascular Disease Study Group (NNECDSG) registry, CABG was associated with a higher in-hospital mortality (5.9% vs
3.0%) although patients in the CABG group had higher predicted risk with more comorbidities. In this same study, the adjusted risk of death was higher for CABG in the rst 6months (hazard ratio (HR) for mortality 1.32; P=0.135) but was signicantly lower from 6months to 8years (HR 0.72; P= 0.005). In another unadjusted comparison of 120 PCI and 181 CABG octogenarians, early mor­tality was signicantly higher with CABG (9.9% vs 2.5%; P=0.01) but the CABG group had higher predicted risk (more le main disease, peripheral vascular disease, previous myocardial infarc­tions, and emergent surgery). However, freedom from recurring angina and need for repeat revascularization at 4years was lower with CABG compared to PCI. In a meta-analysis that included only studies with octogenarians that directly compared CABG to PCI, short-term mortality was higher with CABG (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.05–
2.06; P= 0.02) while CABG patients had better late survival (HR
0.81, 95% CI 0.73–0.89). ere was no dierence in early stroke or myocardial infarction. Overall, these studies suggest that there is a higher upfront mortality risk with CABG compared to PCI while
late survival and freedom from major adverse cardiac events may be better with CABG. However, given that most of these studies were observational in nature, the assignment of treatment at the surgeon’s discretion may have confounded both early and late outcomes. It is important to acknowledge that there is a paucity of randomized con­trolled trial evidence comparing PCI to CABG for multivessel dis­ease and le main disease in octogenarians. While age has not been an exclusion criterion, the range of mean age of patients enrolled in contemporary randomized controlled trial was 63–66years.
Outcomes
An analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 797 hos­pitals and 134,117 patients aged 80years or older in the United States showed a mortality rate of 4–6% in those undergoing isolated CABG from 2003 to 2011. A retrospective review of 15,070 patients undergoing CABG of whom 725 were octogenarians demonstrated that the risk for in-hospital death (odds ratio (OR) 2.64, 95% CI
1.95–3.57) and stroke (OR 3.25, 95% CI 2.15–4.93) was signicantly higher in octogenarians. Aretrospective analysis of 414 octogen­arians show that 5-year survival aer isolated CABG was 66.5%. Risk factors for death included age, dyslipidaemia, poor le ven­tricular function, and high creatinine. Similarly, in a retrospective analysis of 241 octogenarians, the early mortality rate was 5.8% and survival at 1 and 5years was 91.9% and 83.5%, respectively. Multivariable regression showed that peripheral vascular disease and previous PCI were risk factors for late death. Ameta-analysis of 66 observational studies indirectly compared PCI to CABG in octogenarians for early and late survival. ere was selection bias—those that underwent CABG had more multivessel disease and were more likely to be male. However, pooled unadjusted esti­mates for 30-day mortality were similar between CABG (7.3%, 95% CI 6.3–8.2%) and PCI (5.4%, 95% CI 4.4–6.4%) with similar rates of 1-year survival.

In addition to survival, health-related quality of life is also an im­portant outcome, particularly in elderly patients. Areview of the car­diac surgical literature demonstrates that octogenarians undergoing CABG report signicant improvements in symptoms and quality of life, both early and late aer surgery.

In a propensity-matched study of 804 pairs of patients aged at least 70years (mean age 75–76years aer matching), in-hospital mortality was numerically higher with bilateral ITA (2.7% vs 1.6%; P=0.11) although not statistically signicant while the rate of any sternal wound infection (7.7% vs 5.1%; P=0.031) and deep sternal wound infection (4.0% vs 2.2%; P=0.048) was signi­cantly higher in the bilateral ITA group.
Off-pump versus on-pump
Guidelines
e randomized clinical trial German O-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graing in Elderly Patients (GOPCABE) attempted to com­pare o versus on-pump CABG in patients aged at least 75years. While the mean age of enrolled patients was 78years, the authors found no dierence in mortality (2.8 vs 2.6%; P=0.75), or stroke (2.7% vs 2.2%; P=0.47) although the study has been criticized for being unpowered to detect dierences in these outcomes given that the study random­ized only 2539 patients. An analysis of over 134,000 octogenarians in the NIS from 2003 to 2011 showed that while o-pump CABG did not confer any survival benet aer covariate adjustment for baseline dierences, the rate of stroke was signicantly lower with o-pump CABG (2.4% vs 1.8%; P=0.004). ese ndings are supported by a meta-analysis of 16 observational studies in octogenarians that showed comparable mortality in 9744 on-pump and 8566 o-pump patients yet a reduced stroke rate with o-pump CABG (1.3% vs 2.4%; P <0.001). Finally, a completely anaortic technique has been shown to reduce the odds of stroke by two- to fourfold, indicated that it may be an important technique in octogenarians given the high prevalence of aortic atherosclerosis in older patients in whom aortic manipula­tion (cannulation, cross-clamping, etc. for cardiopulmonary bypass) can lead to a higher risk of perioperative stroke. Nonetheless, regard­less of technique chosen, complete revascularization is key in octo­genarians. Aretrospective analysis compared complete to incomplete revascularization in 580 patients and found that mean late survival was signicantly lower in those with incomplete revascularization (6.7 vs 4.2years; P=0.007).
Imagingconsiderations
Given the higher prevalence of peripheral vascular disease and cere­brovascular disease in octogenarians, there are important preopera­tive imaging considerations that may not be necessary in younger patients. e 2018 European revascularization guidelines recom­mend the routine use of non-contrast computed tomography in patients at high risk for postoperative stroke (>70years, previous transient ischaemic attack or stroke) as preoperative computed tom­ography scanning may alter cannulation strategies in up to 20% of these high-risk patients., Furthermore, guidelines recommend routine carotid duplex studies only in patients with a recent his­tory of stroke or transient ischaemic attack (classI, level of evi­dence B) and in those at higher risk (classIIb, level of evidence B). Intraoperatively, there is a recommendation to use epiaortic ultra­sound scanning to identify atheromatous plaque (class IIa, level of evidence C) which may be particularly prudent in elderly pa­tients with a higher burden of aortic atheroma. Indeed, the use of epiaortic scanning has been shown to reduce the number of neuro­logical events in a retrospective propensity-matched cohort study and a cumulative summation analysis showed that the number of preventable adverse events is highest in patients aged over 70years.

A Heart Teamapproach
Overall, there has been a decline in in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing CABG and acceptable late survival has been demon­strated in several observational studies. Studies have shown that advanced age is not a contraindication to CABG—the choice of revascularization strategy should be individualized. ose at high predicted risk of mortality may be better served with PCI while those at low or intermediate risk may improve late event-free survival

with CABG. e Heart Team should be central in deciding the rele­vant treatment modality aer consideration of all relevant factors. Undoubtedly, octogenarians may present with additional comorbid­ities or more advanced disease that necessitates important periopera­tive and operative considerations. e Heart Team approach may also be instrumental in devising the operative strategy, determining the most appropriate conduits, and selecting the optimal surgical tech­nique (o- vs on-pump, complete no-touch aortic technique, hybrid strategies). Finally, chronological age and biological age are dierent entities and may impact surgical risk independently; the inclusion of geriatric specialists to help assess patient frailty and provide prognos­tication may be useful in treatment decision-making.

Coronary artery bypass gra surgery inthe setting ofacute myocardial infarction
Babatunde A. Yerokun and Peter K. Smith
Introduction
Myocardial infarction is a part of the spectrum of ischaemic heart disease that ranges from chronic heart failure to stable or unstable angina to myocardial infarction. As a whole, ischaemic heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Coronary revascularization remains the definitive therapy for selective patients with ischaemic heart disease. This recommen­dation holds true for patients with myocardial infarction. While the use of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients presenting with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has con­tinued to decrease (Fig. 60.1 and Fig. 60.2) this remains a very important therapeutic option. The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Guidelines on myocardial revascularization are the classes of re­commendations (CORs) and the levels of evidence (LOEs) cited for this chapter.
Non-ST-segment elevation myocardialinfarction
Only about 12% of patients who present with a non-ST-segment myocardial infraction (NSTEMI) are denitively managed with CABG. When excluding patients who do not undergo angiog­raphy, this increases to approximately 18%. While the superiority of revascularization is well established compared to conservative management alone for NSTEMI, the decision between CABG and percutaneous coronary intervention should be customized to the in­dividual patient and clinical scenario.,,
ere are some anatomical considerations that favour CABG for patients who present with NSTEMI which include le main stem disease, three-vessel disease, or two-vessel disease with proximal le anterior descending artery stenosis., While most of the random­ized controlled trials on anatomical considerations were conducted on stable coronary disease, there is no evidence to suggest that outcomes would be dierent for stabilized patients with NSTEMI.
In addition, age appears to be a signicant factor in patients treated with CABG. Outcomes in older patients who present with NSTEMI tend to be better in those treated with CABG. Finally, patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease are more likely to benet from CABG as opposed to percutaneous coronary intervention given the advanced atherosclerosis that is associated with these conditions.,
ST-segment elevation myocardialinfarction
Given the degree of myocardial ischaemia associated with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and the need for timely revascularization, CABG is less oen utilized as the pri­mary revascularization procedure. Despite the infrequency, there is still an indication for CABG in patients who present with STEMI, es­pecially when coronary disease is not amenable to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention for patients in cardiogenic shock (COR IIa; LOE C).,, Mechanical circulatory support may be required in the latter group of patients; however, the only trial comparing the use of mechanical circulatory support plus CABG in AMI patients with cardiogenic shock demonstrated no benet compared to CABG alone. In a randomized study of 600 patients re­ceiving intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation aer revascularization versus no intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, no dierences were seen in 30-day mortality between the two treatment arms. However, it must be noted that the trial is not completely general­izable since 95.8% of patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention as opposed to CABG.
Operativeconsiderations
The timing of surgical revascularization is a challenging decision in patients with AMI. The timing of coronary angiography from the initial presentation has been investigated. Several studies have shown that early coronary angiography is associated with

better outcomes as opposed to delayed angiography. In terms of the timing of CABG, the literature is inconclusive, though most data suggest delaying CABG until after 3days may be advan­tageous.– Despite the inconclusiveness, certain conditions would favour earlier urgent revascularization with the goal of decreasing end-organ damage. These conditions include, but are not limited to, cardiogenic shock, recurrent angina despite med­ical therapy, sustained ventricular arrhythmias, new ST-segment changes, or mechanical AMI complications (ventricular septal defect, ventricular free wall rupture, papillary muscle rupture). For these groups of patients, mechanical circulatory support plays a critical role in maintaining cardiac output in the peri­operative period.
In addition to the timing of surgery, the management of pre­operative medications is important. Given that most AMI patients receive intravenous anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy during

diagnostic angiography, appropriate management of these medica­tions for patients undergoing surgical revascularization becomes critical as this can also inuence timing of surgery. For the sur­geon, these decisions balance the risk of re-thrombosis while also attempting to decrease the risk of bleeding during/aer cardiac surgery. With regard to antiplatelet therapy, major society guide­lines recommend both aspirin and a P2Y inhibitor for patients presenting with AMI (COR I, LOE A).,,, Despite the recom­mendation, only 57% of patients who present with a NSTEMI re­ceive dual antiplatelet therapy at the time of the event compared with 90% of STEMI patients. Additionally, anticoagulation is re­commended for this cohort of patients at the time of diagnosis. e anticoagulation regimen oen varies by institution but can range from unfractionated heparin to low-molecular-weight heparin to a direct thrombin inhibitor or a factor Xa inhibitor.

Once CABG has been established as the optimal method of revascularization, the surgeon will be responsible for coordin­ating the continuation or discontinuation of all these medica­tions. Aspirin should be continued perioperatively and through discharge unless there is a contraindication (COR I, LOE C). e most commonly used P2Y inhibitors are clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor. Given the longer half-lives of these medications along with the associated increased risk of bleeding, they are usu­ally discontinued before surgery. Of the three drugs, prasugrel has the highest risk for major bleeding, while clopidogrel and ticagrelor have similar lower rates. Despite the bleeding risk, patients treated with prasugrel have been found to have an associated increased survival aer CABG compared to clopidogrel. Current guidelines recommend that prasugrel should be discontinued for 7days be­fore elective CABG to decreased CABG-associated haemorrhage, compared to 5 and 3days of discontinuation for clopidogrel and ticagrelor respectively (COR IIa, LOE B). Despite these recom­mendations, earlier CABG should be considered if the benets outweigh the risks, especially in the case of a STEMI patient in cardiogenic shock., Anticoagulation should be continued aer deciding on CABG and can be safely discontinued from 6 to 24 hours preoperatively depending on the medication used (COR I, LOE A). e selection of the anticoagulant should be based on risk and benet to the patient given the dierent ecacy–safety pro­les of each agent (COR I, LOR C). In addition to antiplatelets and anticoagulation, initiation and continuation of a beta blocker and a statin are recommended perioperatively. Dual antiplatelet therapy, a beta blocker, and a statin should be resumed immediately aer CABG and continued through discharge up to 12months aer sur­gery if not contraindicated (COR I, LOE C).
