Surgical revascularization: newtechniques
Given the ndings of the FREEDOM trial, both overall and in the CKD population, the burden of cardiovascular postoperative long­term complications is not insignicant. Strategies to improve out­comes have become the focus for many groups as we realize that CABG has advantages over PCI. Perhaps the greatest technique in improving outcomes is the use of bilateral ITA (BITA) versus single ITA (SITA) graing. From January 1972 through January 2011 at the Cleveland Clinic, there were approximately 938 patients who under­went BITA surgery. Follow- up in the cohort was 7.8years which includes 104,516 patient- years. Aer adjusting for major covariates, BITA was associated with a 21% lower rate of mortality compared to SITA. However, there was a small but important increase in the rate of deep sternal wound infection. e international Arterial Revascularisation Trial (ART) addresses this more denitively in the setting of a randomized investigation (see later in this section).
Other groups have studied the eect of multiple arterial CABG graing in patients with diabetes.–  e Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA) 15- year experience demonstrated a clear survival benet of MAGs over le ITA plus saphenous vein graing (64% vs 56%; P=0.02). Most recently, a study from Japan evaluating 2618 con­secutive patients with isolated CABG matched diabetic and non­diabetic patients who received single arterial gras with those who received MAGs. is led to 431 diabetic pairs and 577 non- diabetic pairs. Not surprisingly, by 15years diabetic patients had lower sur­vival than the non- diabetic group, 48.6% versus 55.0% (P=0.019). In addition, diabetic patients also had a lower MACCE- free sur­vival, 40.8% versus 46.1% (P= 0.02). At 12years, all patients had improved survival rate with MAG compared with those undergoing single arterial graing, with 64.9% versus 56.8% in the diabetic co­hort (P=0.0006) (Fig. 62.3). is leads to a number needed to treat of approximately 25 patients to save one additional life at 12years with MAG. erefore, in diabetic patients, the use of BITA graing along with other MAGs has been associated with benets and de­serves further evaluation in ongoing long- term outcome studies.
e 10- year results of ART indicate no advantage of BITA over SITA for death or the MACCE events overall and in the intention­to- treat analysis. is has brought into question the emerging practice of MAG. It is critical to note, however, that about 40% of ART patients actually had a dierent treatment from that initially proposed:there was a signicant survival benet of MAGs in the as­treated analysis. is deserves further study. An in- depth analysis of the subpopulation with diabetes is also warranted.
Conclusion
Diabetes and CKD pose an increased risk for cardiovascular end points aer CABG surgery. More importantly, the combination of diabetes and renal insuciency portends an even worse outcome. Strategies to optimize medical therapy and improve the appropriate use of BITA and multiple arterial graing are potential advances and deserve further evaluation.

Coronary artery bypass graing with surgical ventricularreconstruction
Serenella Castelvecchio, Raffaella Molfetta, Andrea Garatti, and Lorenzo Menicanti
Introduction
Left ventricular remodelling and therationale tosurgically reverseit
Heart failure (HF) is associated with ischaemic heart disease in 46– 68% of patients. In this population, the long- term prog­nosis remains poor, especially with regard to the rate of repeat hospitalization.
The increase in left ventricular (LV) volume after a myocardial infarction is a component of the remodelling process and it is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Surgical left ventricular reconstruction (SVR) has been introduced as an optional thera­peutic strategy aimed to reduce LV volumes through the exclu­sion of the scar tissue, thereby restoring a more physiological volume and shape and improving cardiac function and clinical status.
is chapter will address the rationale for surgically reversing LV remodelling, the technique, and the indications from one of the centres with the most experience in SVR worldwide.
LV remodelling is a complex process, which may occur aer a myo­cardial infarction leading to chamber dilatation, altered congur­ation, and increased wall stress. Adverse LV remodelling results from brotic repair of the necrotic area with scar formation, elongation, and thinning of the infarcted zone. e increase in LV volume is associated with stroke volume augmentation in an eort to maintain a normal cardiac output as the ejection fraction declines. However, beyond this early stage, the remodelling process is driven predomin­antly by eccentric hypertrophy of the remote, non- infarcted regions, resulting in increased wall mass, chamber enlargement, and geo­metric distortion (Fig. 63.1). ese changes, along with increased neurohormonal activation, collagen deposition, brosis, and re­modelling of the extracellular matrix within the non- infarcted zone, lead to a progressive decline in ventricular performance.

Aer careful identication of the transitional zone between scarred and non- scarred tissue, a pre- shaped mannequin (TRISVR®, Chase Medical, Richardson, TX, USA) is inserted into the LV chamber and inated with saline. e mannequin is useful in giving the surgeon the correct position of the apex and in maintaining the long axis of the ventricle in a physiological range (7.5/ 8.5), reducing thereby the risk of sphericalization of the new ventricle. e exclu-

When indicated, the mitral valve is repaired through the ventricular opening with a double- arm stitch running
SVR aims to exclude scar tissue from the LV cavity, thereby reducing the volume and improving cardiac function through reduction of LV wall tension of remote regions, in accordance with the law of Laplace (Fig. 63.2). In 2004, our group showed that relieving the abnormal tension by excluding the scar and reducing the volume allows SVR to produce a mechanical intraventricular resynchronization that improves mechanical LV performance (Fig. 63.3).
from one trigone to the other, embedding the two arms of the su­ture in the posterior anulus of the mitral valve. Arestrictive mitral annuloplasty with a ring implantation may be performed in selected patients, when the LV opening is not big enough to have good ex­posure of the mitral valve.

Surgery for a posterior aneurysm generally involves the use of a patch to close the neck of the dilated region. Otherwise,

Surgical treatment ofischaemic heart failure beyondmyocardialrevascularization
has a major role in patient selection, allowing the exclusion of those patients for whom the nal result is expected to be unfavourable. Our group has recently reported that the presence of late gadolinium enhancement in the proximal anterior LV segments is associated with a lower likelihood of reaching a target volume (LV end- systolic volume index (LVESVI) <60 mL/ m) or improving N- terminal pro­B- type natriuretic peptide levels (2512 ± 1242 ng/ L vs 2492 ± 1848; P=0.971) and portends poor survival. Furthermore, CMR oers the opportunity to assess thickness and function of the remaining non­enhanced viable myocardial tissue (‘the remote regions’). ese may be hibernating (ischaemic but viable myocardium which is likely to display functional recovery aer CABG) or non- ischaemic but dys­functional because of the high local tension that reduces shortening and which is likely to demonstrate functional improvement aer volume reduction obtained through SVR. Finally, our group has recently outlined the importance of plasma concentrations of natri­uretic peptides for risk stratication before surgery and aer sur­gery. Lower BNP values— probably reecting lesser neurohumoral activation— are associated with a higher probability of event- free survival, while higher values are associated with a lower event- free probability.
In the last two decades, the indications for revascularization in pa­tients with ischaemic HF were limited to patients with angina and signicant coronary artery disease. e management of patients with ischaemic HF without angina has been a challenge because of the lack of randomized data with patients who predominantly had HF symptoms. Until recently, coronary revascularization as sole therapy has been supported for this population. However, only ap­proximately 40% of patients with ischaemic HF show improvement in LV ejection fraction aer revascularization. Bax et al. showed that the change in LV ejection fraction aer revascularization was inversely and linearly related to the baseline LV end- systolic volume, with a higher end- systolic volume being associated with a low likelihood of functional recovery aer revascularization despite the presence of substantial viability. e possibility to combine myocardial revascularization with SVR to reverse LV remodelling has been addressed in the Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) Hypothesis 2 trial that compared CABG alone with the combined procedure of CABG with SVR. e trial failed to show an additional survival benet in the SVR group, although the combined procedure resulted in a signicant greater reduction in LVESVI. Nevertheless, the relative small percentage of ESVI reduc­tion observed in the combined group raised concerns on the ex-
Suggestedindications
e choice to perform SVR should be based on careful evaluation of HF symptoms, which should be predominant over angina, on accurate measurements of LV geometric and haemodynamic parameters, on careful evaluation of mitral valve function, on the assessment of the transmural extent of myocardial scar tissue, and on the viability of regions remote from the scar. SVR should perhaps be performed only in centres with a high level of surgical expertise dedicated to this challenging patient population.
According to our experience, we consider the following to be the
indications for SVR:

tent of the SVR procedure that was applied in this trial. Our group hypothesized that the lack of observed benets in the STICH trial might be due to inadequate volume reduction, which le the pa­tients in the two arms at identical risk. Later, a post hoc analysis from the STICH trial reported a postoperative LVESVI of 70 mL/ m or lower resulted in improved survival compared with CABG alone. Indeed, even the STICH trial, beyond the neutral results, showed that the baseline LVESVI is the strongest predictor of poor outcome (hazard ratio 2.73, 95% condence interval 1.50– 4.98; P=0.0010) in patients with severe LV dysfunction and ischaemic HF.  It remains unclear how the volume reduction did not improve the outcome in the trial. One of the most plausible explanations is the mixed population (more representative of real- world ischaemic patients independently of HF, with small volume, without clear evi­dence of scar tissue— late gadolinium enhancement/ MRI was not mandatory) in which SVR was applied.

SECTION 8 Coronary artery bypass graft surgery inspecial situations
Waiting for further analysis of the STICH data, the 2018 European Society of Cardiology/ European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery Guidelines still recommend the SVR at the time of CABG in selected patients operated in centres with a high level of surgical expertise.
Conclusion
SVR, routinely combined with myocardial revascularization, was introduced as a therapeutic strategy aimed to reduce LV size through the exclusion of scar tissue in selected HF patients. e STICH trial has been strongly criticized and its several limitations have led to substantial clinical uncertainty in making such results widely gen­eralizable. Accordingly, the choice to add SVR to CABG may still be considered, and should be based on a careful evaluation and selec­tion of patients. SVR should perhaps be performed only in centres with a high level of surgical expertise and a dedicated focus on the challenging management of ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

Coronaryanomalies
Indications and technique, including anomalous coronary arteries and coronary artery fistulas
Anita Nguyen, Ramachandra C. Reddy, and Hartzell V. Schaff
Anomalous coronaryarteries
Anomalous coronary arteries occur in 1.3% of the general popula­tion. Although most coronary anomalies do not cause any symptoms and are considered benign, for example, origin of the circumex from the proximal right coronary artery, approximately 20% can cause life- threatening conditions. is chapter will focus on sur­gical treatment of two pathologically signicant coronary anom­alies, anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) and anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ACAPA).
Anomalous aortic origin ofa coronaryartery
AAOCA is a congenital anomaly characterized by a main coronary artery arising from the wrong sinus of Valsalva. e two pathologic­ally important types are an anomalous right coronary artery arising from the le sinus of Valsalva (ARCA) and an anomalous le cor­onary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva (ALCA). e incidence of AAOCA in the general population is estimated at 0.1–
0.3%, with ARCA considered to be six to ten times more frequent than ALCA.
ere are many dierent anatomical variations of AAOCA. e anomalous coronary artery may arise from a single ostium or from separate ostia; it may take an interarterial course between the aorta and the pulmonary artery (PA) and/ or an intramural course in the wall of the aorta. e intramural course has a variable relationship to the commissure between the right and le coronary cusps of the aortic valve; it may run at the level of, superior to, or inferior to the commissure. Coronary arteries with an interarterial course which arise from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (ARCA and ALCA) are considered potentially malignant as they have been associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). Other possible courses that an anom­alous coronary artery may take include origin from the wrong sinus and coursing posterior to the aorta (retroaortic), anterior to the PA
(prepulmonic), or in the ventricular septum (transseptal). ese variants are not associated with SCD and are considered benign.
e risk of SCD associated with ALCA is relatively high (2– 5%), but is considerably lower with ARCA (0.1– 0.2%). Death usually occurs in young athletes during or aer strenuous activity. Several theories explaining the coronary ischaemia and resulting SCD have been proposed, including expansion of the great vessels during exer­cise leading to compression of coronary arteries with an interarterial course. Alternative theories postulate an increase in aortic wall ten­sion causing a reduction in coronary artery ow during exercise. Other features that may contribute to ischaemia are a slit- like orice that may narrow with an increase in aortic pressure during physical activity and an acute take- o angle of the coronary artery.
e only known risk factor associated with SCD is age less than 30years. Anatomical variations, including the length of the intra­mural segment, take- o angle, and luminal diameter, are not pre­dictive of SCD and a negative stress test does not predict freedom from SCD.
Patients with AAOCA are oen asymptomatic, and physical examination is usually unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardi­ography is particularly useful in the paediatric population, where diagnosis of AAOCA is oen made based on transthoracic echo­cardiography alone. In adult patients, computed tomography angi­ography and magnetic resonance angiography can establish the anatomical diagnosis. Standard tests, such as electrocardiography and exercise stress testing are oen normal, but positive functional tests such as stress echocardiography and myocardial perfusion studies may be helpful in establishing the presence of myocardial ischaemia in patients with non- specic chest pain.
Surgical repair should be considered in all patients with ALCA with an interarterial course, regardless of symptoms and in pa­tients with ARCA who have symptoms of myocardial ischaemia. An anomalous le main coronary artery or le anterior descending artery arising from the right sinus and coursing anteriorly and in­feriorly (transseptal course) has a more benign outlook and surgery is not necessary in the absence of symptoms or denite narrowing.

SECTION 8 Coronary artery bypass graft surgery inspecial situations
e management of asymptomatic ARCA remains controversial, and the very low risk of surgery may outweigh the risk of SCD in this population., However, asymptomatic ARCA should be repaired in patients with a positive stress test who lead a very active lifestyle. Other patients may choose to proceed with operation because of the unknown subsequent risk of SCD and desire to maintain full activ­ities. Postoperatively, patients with negative stress test and no ostial compromise on imaging studies may be allowed to participate in sports. Lifelong surveillance is advised in all patients with AAOCA.
Surgicaltechniques
Unroofing
Unroong is the most commonly used surgical technique in pa­tients with an intramural course of the anomalous coronary artery and separate coronary ostia. e operation is simplied if the intra­mural course is above the level of the commissure between the right and le aortic valve cusps. Aneo- ostium is created in the correct
sinus by opening the aorta, placing a probe into the anomalous cor­onary artery, and opening the intra- aortic coronary artery to create a new ostium. Typically, four to six individual 7- 0 or 6- 0 polypro­pylene sutures are used to tack the coronary artery to the aortic wall (Fig. 64.1a,b). If the intramural course is at or below the level of the aortic commissure, it may be necessary to detach the commissure and reattach it to the aortic wall at its original level aer creating the neo- ostium. However, this creates some risk of deformation of the aortic valve and aortic insuciency. In such instances, we prefer using a modied unroong procedure (limited unroong/ fenestra­tion), where only the portion of the anomalous coronary artery in the correct sinus is opened. is eectively enlarges and translocates the ostium to the correct sinus (Fig. 64.1c,d).,,
Coronary artery translocation andreimplantation
Coronary artery reimplantation achieves an anatomical repair and is the method of choice in patients with separate coronary ostia
Fig.64.1 Intraoperative images demonstrating unroofing (a, b) and limited unroofing (c, d) in patients with ARCA. Panel (a)shows unroofing of ARCA
with an intramural segment above the commissural level. The aorta has been opened (large arrowheads) and the right sinus of Valsalva is shown on the right (between the two large arrows). The intramural segment has been unroofed (small arrows) and a new coronary ostium has been created (small arrowheads). Panel (b)shows unroofing of ARCA with a tunnel below the commissural level. The aorta has been opened (large arrowheads) and the commissure between the right and left aortic cusps is seen (large arrow). The incised intramural course (small arrowheads) and tacked down edges around the new orifices are shown (small arrow). Panels (c)and (d)show limited unroofing in the same patient. Panel (c)shows the anomalous coronary ostium at the level of the commissure with a probe placed inside. Panel (d)shows limited unroofing performed only in the correct coronary sinus without detaching the commissure. The attached edge of the new coronary ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva is seen with a probe placed in the new coronary ostium.

and no intramural course. An intramuscular course in the septum makes reimplantation dicult because of the extensive mobil­ization required. e ostium of the anomalous coronary artery is excised as a button. e anomalous coronary artery is then mobil­ized and reimplanted into the correct sinus. e risks of coronary reimplantation include stretching and kinking the coronary artery, as well as stenosis of the anastomosis. It can be performed only if the coronary artery is sucient in length.,
Pulmonarytranslocation
PA translocation is useful in patients in whom unroong or reimplantation is not possible (i.e. anomalous coronary arteries with a single ostium and no intramural course). e PA is tran­sected proximal to its bifurcation and translocated laterally and/ or anteriorly. is reduces the risks of compression by the great vessels without manipulating the anomalous coronary artery itself.
Coronary artery bypassgrafting
Coronary artery bypass graing is another treatment option in pa­tients with a single coronary ostium, in whom reimplantation or unroong cannot be considered. Conduit choices include the in­ternal thoracic artery or a saphenous vein gra, with the internal thoracic artery slightly favoured due to better patency. However, concerns regarding competitive ow and resulting gra failure have been raised. is can be addressed by ligating the native coronary ar­tery, but this manoeuvre essentially creates a circulation completely dependent on the bypass gra and a patent anastomosis. For these reasons, coronary artery bypass graing is only recommended in elderly patients or those with concomitant coronary artery disease or extensive calcication of the aortic wall.,,
Othermanagement
Restriction of exercise and abstaining from participating in any competitive sports is advised in all patients prior to surgery. Medical management with beta blockers has been proposed. Percutaneous intracoronary stenting has been used to treat the narrowed origin and intramural portion of an anomalous coronary, but the approach leaves the patient with risk of in- stent restenosis that has been re­ported to be as high as 13%, as well as need for long- term antiplatelet therapy.
chest pain. If ALCAPA is le untreated, death will occur in 90% of patients within the rst year of life. ALCAPA is usually diagnosed in infancy. It rarely becomes manifest in adults but can occur in pa­tients who develop a signicant collateral circulation from the right coronary artery. Adult patients may present with myocardial infarc­tion, le ventricular dysfunction, valvular abnormalities, and malig­nant arrhythmias.
Patients with ARCAPA are usually asymptomatic and frequently the diagnosis is made due to an incidental nding of a murmur.,
If ACAPA is suspected, diagnosis can routinely be made with angiography. Non- invasive diagnostic modalities including electrocardiogram- gated multidetector computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance imaging can further help establish the diagnosis.
Surgical correction is necessary in all patients with ALCAPA. e aim is to create a two- coronary system, which can be achieved by coronary button transfer, the Takeuchi procedure, or coronary ar­tery bypass graing. Surgical correction of ARCAPA is more con­troversial, but the risk of sudden death in this population warrants surgical intervention.
Surgicaltechniques
Simpleligation
Simple ligation of the anomalous coronary artery originating from the PA theoretically should improve ow in the le coronary system by eliminating shunting into the low- pressure pulmonary circula­tion. is leaves the patient with a one- coronary system and has been associated with high early mortality rates in children. ere is also a risk of late SCD. erefore, simple ligation is only advocated in emergency situations, and in most patients a two- coronary system should be established during repair.,
Coronary buttontransfer
Coronary button transfer is recommended as it achieves an anatom­ical correction and is the preferred treatment modality in paediatric patients. e anomalous coronary artery is excised with a cu of PA and reimplanted into the correct coronary ostium (Fig. 64.2). e defect in the PA is closed using a pericardial/ homogra patch. Direct implantation may be more dicult in adults due to friability of vessels and decreased elasticity. An interposition gra, using
Anomalous origin ofthe coronary artery fromthe pulmonaryartery
In ACAPA, the anomalous coronary artery arises from the PA. e most signicant morphologies are anomalous origin of the le cor­onary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA; Bland– White– Garland syndrome) and anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA).
ALCAPA is more common with an incidence of 1 in 300,000 live births and accounts for 0.25– 0.5% of all congenital cardiac diseases. ARCAPA occurs less frequently (approximately 0.002% of the gen­eral population). e main complication of ACAPA is shunting of the coronary circulation from the le to the right resulting in myo­cardial ischaemia due to the steal phenomenon.
ALCAPA causes myocardial ischaemia and mitral insuciency in infancy, leading to failure to thrive, profuse sweating, pallor, and
either the saphenous vein or a polytetrauoroethylene tube can be used to overcome the reduced mobility of the coronary artery.
Takeuchiprocedure
is procedure may be useful if a coronary button transfer is not achievable due to a short coronary artery or other unfavour­able anatomy. An aortopulmonary window is created and a transpulmonary bae tunnels blood from the aortopulmonary window to the coronary ostium. A potential complication of the Takeuchi procedure is supravalvular pulmonary stenosis.,
Coronary artery bypassgrafting
Coronary artery bypass graing with ligation of the native coronary artery is another treatment option, and this may be preferred in pa­tients with xed coronary disease and in older patients with friable tissues that would complicate coronary ostial transfer or creation of a transpulmonary bae.
