Coronary artery bypass graing in patients withventriculardysfunction
Indications, techniques, and outcomes
Andrea Garatti, Serenella Castelvecchio, Alessandro Parolari, and Lorenzo Menicanti
Introduction
Ischaemic chronic heart failure represents one of the cardiovas­cular diseases with the worst degree of morbidity and mortality in the Western world, along with the highest healthcare costs. Despite several retrospective studies demonstrating that surgical revascularization (coronary artery bypass graing (CABG)), espe­cially in the presence of viable myocardium, improves heart func­tion and therefore survival in this subgroup of patients, the matter remains unclear and controversial.
e reported prevalence of severe ischaemic le ventricular dys­function (LVD) in patients undergoing CABG in large series and registries ranged from 3.4% to 15%. e dierences may be partly ex­plained by dierent denitions of severely depressed le ventricular function, even if most studies choose an ejection fraction (EF) of less than or equal to 35%. In a recent analysis of the Society of oracic Surgeons National Adult Cardiac Surgery Database, among 774,881 isolated CABG procedures performed on adult patients between 2002 and 2006, the prevalence of LVD (EF <35%) was 10.6%, with
3.3% of patients presenting with very poor EF of less than 20%. In the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland National Database, among 23,740 cardiac procedures performed be­tween 2010 and 2011, the incidence of EF less than 30% was 6%, with
0.5% of patients presenting with severe LVD (EF <20%). In our de­partment, among 8555 patients undergoing isolated CABG between 2000 and 2016, nearly 10% presented with an EF less than 35%, and this incidence appears to have slightly increased in recent years. As a result of the steady increase in the incidence of congestive heart failure in developed countries, it is expected that a growing number of patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and LVD will require myocardial revascularization.
is chapter discusses the available evidence in the literature, from observational studies to randomized trials, including opera­tive techniques and controversial issues, in order to clarify the role of CABG in the current management of patients with ischaemic LVD.
Early and long- termoutcomes
Observationalstudies
Patients with reduced EF undergoing CABG have been consistently shown to have higher operative mortality and reduced long- term survival compared with patients with preserved EF. However, 30­day mortality has signicantly improved over time— from 20% in the late 1980s to 5% in patients operated on aer 2000. is improve­ment in operative outcome is certainly multifactorial and probably related to improvements in myocardial protection strategies and overall perioperative management. Ameta- analysis including 4119 patients from 26 observational studies with ischaemic LVD (mean preoperative EF of 24%) undergoing CABG, reported a mean es­timated 30- day mortality of 5.4%, with a limited postoperative use of an intra- aortic balloon pump (IABP) (8%) and inotropic sup­port (43%), and a signicant improvement in postoperative systolic function, as mean EF improved from 24% to 35% with an estimated 5- year survival of 75%. ese results demonstrate that CABG can be performed in this high- risk subgroup of patients with acceptable perioperative mortality and long- term survival.
e comparison between medical therapy and CABG in the treat­ment of chronic stable angina has been addressed in several early trials. Unfortunately, these results can hardly be applied to the con­temporary management of patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy as patients with severe LVD were largely excluded and both sur­gical techniques and medical therapy have signicantly improved since then.
ere are currently no dedicated randomized clinical trials com­paring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus medical therapy in patients with heart failure and LVD. In addition, CABG versus PCI randomized trials have excluded patients with severe heart failure. Even in modern trials comparing CABG and PCI, such as the SYNTAX (Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) and the FREEDOM (Future Revascularization Evaluation in Patients with Diabetes

Mellitus:Optimal Management of Multivessel Disease) trials, pa­tients with severe LVD represent only around 2% of the enrolled patients.
Until the STICH (Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure) trial, data supporting the role of surgical revascularization for patients with LVD were primarily observational. Studies comparing survival in patients treated with surgery versus medical therapy uniformly suggested that CABG enhances survival in patients with ischaemic LVD. Reductions in mortality with surgery compared with medical therapy ranged from 10% to greater than 50%. However, most of these studies either date from the 1960s and 1970s, or fail to provide sucient detail to determine if optimal medical management by cur­rent standards might have enhanced survival in the medical groups. PCI should be considered in older patients without diabetes in whom complete revascularization can be achieved, whereas CABG is pre­ferred in younger patients with more extensive CAD or those with diabetes. Indeed, in patients with diabetes and LVD, CABG is associ­ated with better long- term survival and reduced incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events.
The STICH and STICHEStrials
e STICH trial is the only prospective randomized controlled trial to specically investigate the role of CABG in patients with le ventricular EF less than 35% who are also receiving optimal medical therapy (OMT). In the analysis of data from the surgical revascularization hypothesis (enrolling 1212 patients), at a me­dian follow- up period of 56months, no signicant dierence was observed in the primary outcome of all- cause mortality between patients randomized to CABG versus OMT. However, the CABG group had improved rates of death from cardiovascular causes and improved rates of a combined end point of death from any cause and hospitalization for heart failure, as well as a greater improve­ment with regard to symptoms and quality of life. Furthermore, pa­tients with more advanced forms of ischaemic cardiomyopathy (as expressed by the presence of three- vessel disease and more severe systolic LVD and remodelling) received the greatest benet from surgical revascularization. is resulted in an overall statistically signicant benet of CABG over the entire follow- up period des­pite the higher early mortality with surgery compared with OMT. Interestingly, the results of the STICH Extension Study (STICHES) demonstrated that at 10- year follow- up, all- cause mortality, cardio­vascular mortality, and a composite end point of mortality and heart failure readmission were indeed signicantly reduced in CABG pa­tients compared to OMT (Fig. 61.1), and these results were more evident in younger compared to older patients.
Operativetechniques
O- pump CABG has been advocated by some authors in patients with LVD undergoing myocardial revascularization in order to minimize ischaemic time and perioperative myocardial damage. Ameta- analysis including 1512 patients with LVD undergoing either o- pump CABG (498 patients) or on- pump CABG (1014 patients), demonstrated a non- signicant hazard ratio of 0.71 (95% condence interval 0.351– 1.426; P=0.334) for mortality with o- pump CABG compared with the on- pump technique (in- hospital mortality was
5.4% vs 4.4% for on- pump and o- pump respectively). However,

e use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) has been asso­ciated with improved outcomes following myocardial revasculari­zation, especially in patients with a predicted survival greater than 10years. However, the impact of a strategy of bilateral ITA graing on survival is less clear for high- risk subgroups such as those with low EF. Some evidence in patients with LVD demonstrated no long- term survival advantage of the bilateral ITA over the single ITA strategy, suggesting that the use of a second ITA is not as­sociated with improved survival following CABG among patients with LVD. One possible explanation for these results is that sys­tolic LVD constitutes a powerful predictor of late mortality among CABG patients that may negate any potential advantage of bilateral ITA graing.
Despite the enormous amount of data regarding myocardial pro­tection reported in literature, very few studies (and no randomized clinical trial) addressed the role of cardioplegia type (crystalloid vs blood; cold vs warm; antegrade vs retrograde) in patients with LVD undergoing myocardial revascularization. e CABG Patch Trial represented a high- risk group of 900 patients with EFs less than 36% who underwent CABG, who were randomly assigned to implant­able cardioverter debrillator implantation. Although not designed to address this issue, the trial collected limited data on cardioplegic type and perioperative events in addition to survival. e study demonstrated that blood, warm, and combined antegrade/ retro­grade cardioplegia were associated with less postoperative myocar­dial damage (inotrope/ IABP use and conduction defects) compared to antegrade crystalloid cardioplegia alone. Despite this, no signi­cant dierences in early or late survival, as well as postoperative low­output syndrome or acute myocardial infarction, were observed between dierent types of myocardial protection.
reduction in mortality utilizing viability testing in patients with known ischaemic cardiomyopathy, irrespective of imaging modality chosen. ese initial studies, although favourable, shared several limitations (small studies, wide temporal distribution, retrospective analysis, dierent methods of viability assessment, incomplete ad­herence to OMT) and lacked sucient power and sample size to provide conclusive statement on viability assessment in this sub­group of patients.
In recent years, the impact of preoperative myocardial viability assessment on the outcomes of surgical revascularization in patients with ischaemic LVD was investigated in multicentre randomized trials,, suggesting that preoperative myocardial viability assess­ment could have a prognostic benet in centres with proved experi­ence in cardiac imaging. In the revascularization hypothesis of the STICH trial, half of the enrolled patients underwent assessment of myocardial viability by means of either single- photon emission computed tomography or low- dose dobutamine echocardiography. Although patients with viable tissue experienced a signicantly lower 5- year mortality compared to patients without myocardial viability (37% vs 51%), the viability analysis did not identify pa­tients who would preferentially benet from CABG over OMT. Moreover, there was no signicant interaction with respect to mor­tality between viability status and assignment to CABG or OMT. Despite some limitations (including the lack of more advanced modalities of viability assessment such as positron emission tom­ography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging), this study rep­resents the largest analysis of the inuence of myocardial viability on clinical end points in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy to date, and was the rst to assess the dierential eect of viability on revascularization versus medical management.
e perioperative use of an IABP in cardiac surgery is widespread. One meta- analysis of eight randomized clinical trials, including 625 high- risk elective CABG patients, reported that preoperative
Indications and closingremarks
IABP insertion was associated with a signicant reduction in the risk of perioperative mortality (3.5% vs 11% in IABP vs non- IABP groups). e benet on mortality reduction was consistent aer restricting the analysis to trials with low risk of bias, those reporting 30- day follow- up, and trials with patients undergoing CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass. ese studies should guide surgeons to­wards considering elective preoperative insertion of IABP in high­risk patients with severe LVD.
e decision of whether to proceed with surgical revascularization in a patient with ischaemic cardiomyopathy is an increasingly common one, given the rising prevalence of this condition. Unfortunately, it is also a dicult one because of the complexity and variability of the clinical presentations and, until recently, because of the paucity of data from randomized clinical trials. In summary, the results of the available literature (including the STICHES data) seem to support a signicant benet of CABG plus OMT over medical

therapy alone across all clinically relevant long- term outcomes in patients with LVD. Although more extensive CAD and worse LVD
and remodelling may be intuitively thought to be associated with in­Viability of the myocardium is the central principle that under­pins reperfusion therapies. In the context of ischaemic chronic LVD, identifying myocardial hibernation is of clinical relevance, as it represents potentially salvageable myocardial tissue. Should ‘vi­able’ myocardial tissue be present, restoration of adequate coronary blood ow should in theory improve myocardial performance and le ventricular EF, with the expectation of translating into improved long- term outcomes.
On these premises, numerous non- randomized retrospective studies in the early 1990s evaluated the value of viability testing in the decision- making process concerning myocardial revascularization in patients with ischaemic LVD. Ameta- analysis of these trials re­vealed a signicant association between revascularization and
creased operative mortality, those characteristics are found among patients who derive the greatest benet from revascularization and, hence, are those in whom CABG should not be delayed. e role of preoperative assessment of myocardial viability on deter­mining the treatment choice remains partially unsolved. On the basis of the STICH results, however, assessment of myocardial via­bility should not be the arbitrating factor for therapy choice. ese considerations are reected in the current recommendations for revascularization in the 2018 European Society of Cardiology/ European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery Guidelines on myocardial revascularization, which indicate that (1)in patients with severe systolic LVD and coronary artery disease suitable for intervention, myocardial revascularization is recommended; and

Coronary artery bypassgraing
Diabetes and kidney disease
Michael E. Farkouh and Valentin Fuster
Coronary bypass surgery anddiabetes
e prevalence of diabetes is expected to rise considerably to aect over 500million adults worldwide by 2030. ere are important distinctions between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as their patho­physiology is dierent, but for the sake of this discussion, the focus will predominantly be on patients with type 2 diabetes, which ac­counts for more than 95% of the cases of diabetes globally. Patients with diabetes have high risk of atherosclerotic plaques related to the increased inammation, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, and elevated glucose levels. is dysfunctional cardio- metabolic en­vironment promotes accelerated atherosclerosis. Diabetic coronary artery disease (CAD) is marked by its diuse and multivessel na­ture. Agreat deal of study has been committed to the optimal ap­proaches to the revascularization of patients with diabetes and multivessel CAD.
Theevidence
e comparison of multivessel stenting to coronary artery bypass surgery began in the late 1980s with a series of trials. At that time, the comparator to bypass surgery was balloon angioplasty (per­cutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty). Although a number of trials were conducted, the landmark study was the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI) trial, which recruited over 300 patients with diabetes among a total of 1829 subjects., In the BARI trial, the evaluation of a diabetic sub­group was prespecied by the data safety monitoring board be­cause of the concern regarding the interaction between diabetes and contrast- induced nephropathy. Overall, there was no dier­ence in overall survival at 5years. However, there was a marked dierence in the diabetic subgroup at 5years with mortality in the bypass group of 19.4% compared to 34.5% in the percutan­eous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty arm (P=0.003). BARI was important with regard to the study of diabetes and heart disease on two fronts:rst, the mortality dierence and second, high usage of internal thoracic artery (ITA) graing in over 80%
in the surgical arm. is led to a hypothesis that ITA graing was protective in diabetes when compared to surgical vein graing alone leading to a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute alert in the United States for diabetic patients with multivessel disease with the recommendation that these patients be considered for coronary artery bypass gra (CABG) surgery given the ndings of BARI.
The bare metal stentingera
A number of important trials were conducted with bare- metal stents (BMSs) with regard to a diabetic subpopulation. e Arterial Revascularization Study (ARTS) trial demonstrated an improved trend in survival of bypass patients when the ITA graing was used more than 89% of the time. e mortality rate in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) arm was 6.3% compared to 3.1% in the surgical arm (P=0.294 trend). Similarly, there was an important nding in the diabetic subpopulation of the Stent or Surgery (SoS) trial, which showed a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.53 (95% composite
1.14– 10.95) in favour of bypass surgery. Finally, there was no dif­ference in mortality up to 5years in the Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study (MASS II), but the patients treated medically only had increased mortality. e major issue in the BMS era was the high rates of restenosis and accelerated neointimal hyperplasia. With the advent of drug- eluting stents (DESs) the issue of resten­osis seemed to be addressed. However, the trends in mortality between PCI and CABG in favour of CABG continued into the DES era.
The drug- eluting stentera
A number of trials have been undertaken in the DES era, pre­dominantly with rst- generation DES platforms to compare PCI with CABG. e rst trial to report was the Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with Taxus versus Bypass Surgery (SYNTAX) trial, which had a 12- month end point with 452

Mechanisms ofbenefit forsurvival ofbypass surgery overPCI
ere are a number of hypotheses as to why patients with bypass
surgery enjoyed greater survival and freedom from MACCE events
when compared to PCI across the dierent eras of PCI. ere are
a number of theories as to the mechanisms of this benet which
range from greater completeness of revascularization in the sur-
gical arm, longer patency of ITA gras, the greater use of multiple
arterial gras (MAGs), and better optimal medical therapy with
statin use and newer antidiabetic therapies. ese are plausible but
likely the most important dierence is the protection of bypass pa-

landmark work of Cutlip and colleagues. What is now clear from
FREEDOM is that the SYNTAX score does not inform the choice of A great deal of emphasis has been put on later- generation DESs as
well as other stent platforms. Recently, there has been a suggestion that these platforms, by reducing stent thrombosis, may reduce the rates of MACCE as well and make up some of the dierence between PCI and CABG that has been demonstrated in the earlier trials. e totality of the evidence suggests that for the MACCE event rates, the dierence between PCI and CABG continues to be maintained regardless of stent platforms. is may very well have to do with non- target lesion events in the long term.
A meta- analysis by Verma and colleagues of the four main BMS and the four main DES trials comparing PCI with CABG has dem­onstrated an improved survival for diabetics with multivessel dis­ease and CABG with a relative risk of 0.67 (P=0.002) (Table 62.1).

Overall, it is well documented that patients with CKD have a higher mortality and MACCE rate. ere are two types of patients with CKD, those with and without the need for dialysis. Because of the association of revascularization procedures with exacerbation of
CABG was associated with lower risk of mortality (HR 2.0 for PCI vs CABG, 95% CI 1.40– 2.93).
Data from the FREEDOM trial comparing PCI to CABG reported
similar ndings consistent with the guideline recommendations. acute kidney injury on top of CKD, there are renal and cardiovas­cular end points that are important to consider.
Based on very limited data, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines for CABG suggest that decisions in patients with multivessel CAD be considered independ­ently of the CKD if there is moderate to severe CKD. As a result, for these patients and those with end- stage renal disease, the recom­mendation is for CABG over PCI.
Recently, Bangalore and colleagues performed propensity matching on over 5000 patients from the NewYork State registries and compared long- term mortality for PCI versus CABG. In pa­tients with CKD, PCI was associated with a greater risk of repeat revascularization and myocardial infarction, but at a lower risk of stroke. Overall, there was no dierence in long- term mortality when newer- generation stents were used compared to bypass (HR
1.07 for PCI vs CABG, 95% CI 0.92– 1.24). In a separate analysis of approximately 500 matched patients, in patients on haemodialysis,

of the composite of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke (26.0% vs 35.6%, HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.50– 1.05) (Table 62.2). e trend for a higher risk of stroke in the bypass group did not reach statistical sig­nicance. In the FREEDOM analysis, CABG had long- term benets with regard to MACCE and these eects were consistent whether patients had CKD or not. One caveat was that there were very few patients in FREEDOM with an estimated glomerular ltration rate less than 30 mL/ min/ 1.73 m.
It is well documented that acute kidney injury is an important
postoperative complication of CABG surgery and is a predictor of
long- term survival. Modine and others conducted a prospective
randomized trial of on- pump versus o- pump CABG surgery and
reported no signicant dierence in postoperative plasma creatinine
levels. However, when comparing day 0 to day 5 of surgery there
was a signicant dierence in the level of microalbuminuria, with a
reduced rate of albumin secretion in the o- pump group (P=0.003).
