Coronary arteryfistulas
Coronary artery stulas are abnormal communications between a coronary artery and another cardiovascular structure, such as the PA, coronary sinus, or cardiac chambers. Aconnection between a cor­onary artery and a cardiac chamber is known as a coronary– cameral stula.
Coronary artery stulas occur in 0.1– 0.2% of all patients under­going coronary angiography. e most common origin is the right coronary artery, and the most common draining sites are the coronary sinus, PA, and right ventricle. Complications that may arise from coronary artery stulas include myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, and coronary aneurysms. Furthermore, infective endocarditis develops in approximately 5% of cases of coronary artery stulas. Patients are usually asymptomatic and commonly present due to an incidental nding of a continuous murmur or cardiomegaly and plethora on chest radiography.
Closure of a coronary artery stula is indicated in all symptomatic patients. In asymptomatic patients, surgery may be advised due to the risk of the stula increasing in size and causing congestive heart failure. Another reason for closure is their association with infective endocarditis. e choice of surgical or transcatheter approaches re­mains controversial as similar eectiveness, morbidity, and mor­tality have been reported. Complications of both approaches include early or late postprocedural myocardial infarction. Early myocar­dial infarction is most likely due to iatrogenic occlusion of distal coronary ow, while late myocardial infarction is usually caused by thrombosis of the enlarged native proximal coronary artery. For this reason, systemic anticoagulation should be considered in all patients undergoing coronary artery stula repair.,
Surgicaltechniques
Epicardialligation
Surgical closure can be achieved by ligating the stulous connec­tion of the coronary artery close to its drainage site (Fig. 64.3a). is does not necessarily involve putting the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass, and depends on accessibility of the coronary artery stula, the presence of a coronary aneurysm, and other coexisting car­diac pathologies. Prior to ligating a coronary artery stula, it is im­portant to ensure that branches supplying the myocardium are not occluded. Careful study of the preoperative coronary angiogram is critically important in order to identify the stula and drainage site. Intraoperatively, it is oen helpful to temporarily occlude or snare the suspected site of the stula and observe for ST- segment changes that would indicate occlusion of the coronary artery rather than the stulous communication.,
Transcoronary, transcameral, and transpulmonaryclosure
If the coronary artery stula opens into a ventricle or if the stula is very large, the coronary artery is opened and the stula is closed using a running suture (Fig. 64.3b). If the coronary artery stula opens into an atrium or the PA, the chamber is opened and the s­tula is closed from the inside.
Transcatheterembolization
Endovascular closure is performed if the stula arises at the prox­imal part of the coronary artery. It is contraindicated in large stulas, if there are multiple stulas present, or if there are other concomitant cardiac pathologies requiring surgical correction. Several methods, such as occlusion coils, vascular plugs, and covered stents, have been described.

Coronary artery bypass graing and mitral valvesurgery
Arman Kilic, Robert E. Michler, and Michael A. Acker
Introduction
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is categorized as either primary or sec­ondary. Primary MR refers to structural or degenerative disease of the mitral valve or subvalvular apparatus. Secondary MR is related to functional impairment of the le ventricle from non- ischaemic or ischaemic causes in which the mitral valve is structurally normal. Secondary MR in the setting of coronary artery disease is known as ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). IMR results from wall motion abnormalities aecting papillary muscle function and lo­cation as well as adverse remodelling of the le ventricle with dis­tortion of the ventricle and mitral annulus. ese conditions result in apical and lateral migration of the papillary muscles and associ­ated tethering forces that hinder leaet coaptation, thus leading to regurgitation.
Approximately 50% of all myocardial infarctions are associated with some degree of IMR. Moreover, 10– 20% of patients with is­chaemic heart disease have moderate or severe MR. e develop­ment of any degree of MR is associated with a reduction in event- free survival, an increase in the severity of heart failure, and a doubling of mortality.
Critical to any discussion of IMR are the indications for sur­gery, the type of surgery, and the specic operative techniques for addressing the mitral valve. In the setting of moderate IMR, an es­sential decision point is whether coronary artery bypass graing (CABG) alone will be sucient to correct the MR or whether add­itional surgical intervention is required for the mitral valve. In se­vere IMR, the controversy is centred on whether mitral valve repair or replacement is the better surgical therapy. ese points will be discussed in further detail in this chapter.
Indications forsurgicalintervention
Although the data are clear that the presence of IMR is associated with worse survival when compared to coronary artery disease pa­tients without IMR, it is unclear if this association is a result of the clinical sequelae of IMR itself or if the presence of IMR is a marker
of more advanced heart failure. In this context, it is also unknown whether surgically addressing IMR at the time of CABG lessens symptomatic burden, results in reverse remodelling, improves quality of life, or improves survival.
e 2014 American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology Guidelines provide a classIIa (‘should consider’) rec­ommendation for mitral valve surgery in patients with chronic se­vere IMR who are undergoing CABG (Fig. 65.1). In the opinion of these authors, this classIIa recommendation is insucient and the mitral valve ‘must’ be addressed at the time of CABG, preferably with mitral valve replacement. In addition, the European Society of Cardiology and European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery Guidelines from 2017 provide a classIrecommendation for surgery in severe IMR at the time of CABG in patients with a le ventricular ejection fraction greater than 30%. ese guidelines also make a classIIa recommendation for mitral valve surgery in patients with symptomatic severe IMR with an ejection fraction less than 30% but with an option for revascularization and evidence of myocar­dial viability. AclassIIb recommendation is made for considering mitral valve surgery in patients in whom revascularization is not in­dicated, but who have severe IMR with an ejection fraction greater than 30% and remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and have low surgical risk. e 2018 European guidelines on myo­cardial revascularization provide a recommendation for mitral valve surgery in the setting of severe IMR. ese more recent guidelines, however, suggest that no rm conclusions can be drawn for mod­erate IMR particularly in the setting of an eective regurgitant ori­ce area of greater than 0.2cm and regurgitant volume greater than 30 mL, where the decision to add mitral valve repair to CABG should be made on a case- by- case basis and discussed in a Heart Team format.
e 2014 American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology guidelines provide a classIIb (‘could consider’) recom­mendation for mitral valve repair in moderate IMR at the time of CABG. ese authors agree with a classIIa ‘should consider’ recom­mendation in this clinical circumstance. Further details regarding operative indications in the setting of moderate and severe IMR are provided later in this chapter.

Operativetechniques
When indicated, the operative sequence for combined CABG and mitral valve surgery is generally well scripted. As with all open cardiac surgery and in particular with the mitral valve, the transoesophageal echocardiogram is essential and may reveal ndings discordant with the preoperative transthoracic echocardiogram. Important echocar­diographic variables that are evaluated and can aid in the decision of repair versus replacement include leaet length, tenting area, leaet angles, apical displacement of the coaptation point, lateral and pos­terior displacement of the papillary muscles, and direction of the regurgitant jet. Asimple assessment incorporates the severity of posterior papillary muscle tethering, and in cases where there is sig­nicant tethering and in particular when it is accompanied with a posteriorly directed jet, replacement is typically preferred.
Aortic and bicaval cannulation is performed with an antegrade cardioplegia and root vent catheter placed into the ascending aorta. Many surgeons will also utilize retrograde cardioplegia. e distal coronary anastomoses including those utilizing the le internal thoracic artery are generally performed prior to the mitral valve
surgery. e choice of conduit for revascularization in this setting is based on surgeon preference as well as patient characteristics such as age and presence of diabetes or obesity, with some surgeons utilizing a vein conduit to the circumex artery distribution and others utilizing an arterial conduit such as the internal thoracic ar­tery or the radial artery. One approach is to use vein conduit unless the patient is under the age of 65years. In these younger patients, a right internal thoracic artery either in situ that is brought through the transverse sinus, or taken as a free conduit, is anastomosed to the circumex distribution. Some surgeons prefer to use the radial artery in this circumstance, and in particular for obese patients or those with diabetes who are at higher risk of sternal wound issues from a bilateral thoracic artery harvest. Exposure of the mitral valve is then achieved via a le atriotomy through the interatrial groove or a transseptal approach.
By denition, mitral valve analysis will reveal structurally normal mitral valve leaets and chords in IMR, and oen, dipping of a P3 scallop secondary to tethering of the leaet. Correction of IMR is completed either by mitral valve repair using a restrictive
65 Coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valvesurgery 445
https://t.me/medicina_free
annuloplasty with or without papillary muscle sling or mitral valve replacement. Apapillary muscle sling is typically performed by inserting a Gore- Tex® gra around the bases of the papillary muscles and then approximating the edges of the sling tightly. is forms an intraventricular ring that once tightened, allows for close approximation and juxtaposition of the papillary mus­cles. Following mitral valve surgery, the proximal anastomoses are completed. In patients with atrial brillation, an ablation pro­cedure and le atrial appendage ligation can also be performed when technically feasible.
In performance of mitral valve repair, Bolling popularized the concept of a restrictive annuloplasty with undersizing of the mitral ring by at least one size below the standard measurement. Asize 26 or 28 ring usually suces for the majority of patients. Akey tech­nical concept is in the type of ring that is used for IMR. It is now generally accepted that the intertrigonal anterior brous portion of the mitral valve dilates proportionally with the posterior annulus. However, the greater circumference of dilation is in the posterior annulus. erefore, partial or exible bands are not sucient to treat IMR, oen resulting in residual functional MR and inhibiting re­verse le ventricular remodelling. Small rigid and complete rings are the preferred ring type to treat IMR. e absence of MR on intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiogram aer separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, and a zone of leaet coaptation of 8– 10mm or greater mark a successful mitral valve restrictive annuloplasty in IMR.
We recommend a complete chordal- sparing replacement of the mitral valve for IMR when mitral valve replacement is the planned operation. e rationale for this recommendation lies in the import­ance of maintaining the integrity of the mitral axis (valve leaets, chords, papillary muscles, le ventricle) and its favourable impact on le ventricular function in patients with IMR. Evidence from a recent randomized controlled trial conrmed the benecial eects of complete chordal- sparing mitral valve replacement compared to partial chordal- sparing mitral valve replacement in IMR. Asimpli­ed technique for complete chordal- sparing mitral valve replace­ment entails bisecting the anterior leaet, rotation of the leaet tissue to the le and right, and placement of annular pledgeted su­tures through the leading edge of the anterior leaet. e posterior leaet tissue is usually generous and its leading edge can readily be sutured in continuity with the pledgeted sutures placed through the posterior annulus— tucking the chordal apparatus and leaets be­hind the prosthetic valve annulus.
Moderate ischaemic mitralregurgitation
e surgical treatment of moderate IMR is increasingly contro­versial, with approximately equal numbers of patients treated in the United States with either combined CABG and mitral valve repair/ replacement, or with CABG alone.–  Operative mortality for CABG as well as for CABG combined with mitral valve repair has declined steadily over the past decade, but the additional aortic cross- clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass time associated with the performance of mitral valve repair increases the risk of the com­bined procedure. erefore, selection of the appropriate patients is imperative to ensure that the trade- o of the additional risk of mi­tral valve repair is necessary and provides additional short- and/ or long- term benet.
Proponents for treating moderate ischaemic IMR with revascularization alone argue that revascularization improves re­gional contractility and restores mitral valve– papillary muscle con­tinuity, thus normalizing mitral valve function. On the other hand, proponents for a more aggressive treatment strategy cite the nega­tive consequences of ongoing IMR. Myocardial revascularization alone may be insucient to restore normal ventricular physiology once IMR develops. Correction of IMR may prevent progressive ad­verse remodelling and may improve cardiac function and attenuate the risk of heart failure.
Until recently, evidence addressing treatment decisions for IMR has been limited to small single- centre randomized trials, observa­tional studies, and case series, where correction for signicant and substantial imbalances in baseline patient characteristics is prob­lematic, making it dicult to develop a clear understanding of ap­propriate treatment options.–  ese studies were also limited by variable denitions of the severity and aetiology of IMR, surgical repair techniques, potential publication bias, limited patient follow­up, and lack of information on key secondary outcomes such as quality of life.
e tide of understanding may now be growing clearer in the man­agement of moderate IMR following the publication of three recent randomized clinical trials. Atrial of moderate IMR by Fattouch and colleagues, the Randomized Ischemic Mitral Evaluation (RIME) trial, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI)­sponsored Cardiothoracic Surgical Clinical Trials Network (CTSN) moderate IMR trial. In all three of these trials, the mitral valve re­pair procedure performed was specically a restrictive annuloplasty.
Fattouch and colleagues randomized patients with moderate IMR to CABG alone (n=54) or CABG plus mitral valve repair (n=48). e mean follow- up was 32 ± 18months. Survival rates at 5years were comparable at 88.8% versus 93.7% for CABG versus CABG plus mitral valve repair, respectively. Importantly, the CABG plus mitral valve repair group experienced a statistically signicant re­duction in mean NewYork Heart Association class, le ventricular end- diastolic dimension, le ventricular end- systolic dimension, le atrial size, systolic pulmonary artery pressure, and grade of MR.
e RIME trial randomized 73 patients with moderate IMR (mean eective regurgitant orice approximately 0.2cm) and a le ven­tricular ejection fraction greater than 30% to receive CABG alone (39 patients) or CABG plus mitral valve repair (34 patients). e study was discontinued aer review of the interim data revealed an overwhelming benet for patients randomized to CABG plus mitral valve repair. At 1year, the CABG plus mitral valve repair group com­pared to the CABG group demonstrated a marked improvement in the primary end point of peak oxygen consumption (3.3 mL/ kg/ min vs 0.8 mL/ kg/ min; P <0.001), le ventricular end- systolic volume index (LVESVI; 22.2 mL/ m versus 4.4 mL/ m; P <0.002), mitral regurgitant volume (28.2 mL/ beat vs 9.2 mL/ beat; P=0.001), and plasma B- type natriuretic peptide (557.4 pg/ mL vs 394.7 pg/ mL; P=0.003). ese benets for the CABG plus mitral valve repair group were seen at the expense of longer operative times, and in­creased blood transfusion, intubation duration, and hospital length of stay compared to CABG alone. ere was no statistically signi­cant dierence in mortality at 30days (3% vs 3%) and 1year (3% vs 9%) between CABG plus mitral valve repair versus CABG alone groups. erefore, the benet of adding mitral valve repair to CABG

appears to be an improvement in functional capacity as measured by peak oxygen consumption, reverse remodelling, and MR severity. e sustainability of these improvements and long- term outcomes remain to be conrmed.
e CTSN trial compared 2- year outcomes between CABG alone (n=151) and CABG plus mitral valve repair (n=151) in patients with moderate IMR. e primary outcome was le ventricular re­modelling as measured by LVESVI. Secondary outcomes included a composite end point of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events, mortality, serious adverse events, residual MR, quality of life, rehospitalization, and functional status. At 2- year follow- up, there were no dierences between the cohorts with respect to a decrease in LVESVI, or in other words, reverse remodelling. e rate of mod­erate or severe MR persistence or recurrence at 2years was higher in the CABG alone group versus the CABG plus mitral valve repair group:32.3% versus 11.2%, respectively (P <0.001). Other secondary outcomes, including mortality, rehospitalization, and serious ad­verse events were comparable between the two groups (Fig. 65.2). e authors concluded that there were no signicant improvements

in symptoms, major adverse events, survival, le ventricular reverse remodelling, or ejection fraction with the addition of mitral valve repair. ere was a signicant improvement in mitral valve regur­gitation grade with the addition of mitral valve repair at 2years. Interestingly, in both treatment groups an improvement in regional wall motion in the inferior– posterior– lateral walls correlated with a reduction in MR leading the authors to suspect the presence of hibernating myocardium in the patients enrolled in the trial.
Important ndings from these randomized trials are discordant and necessitate a careful examination of dierences in the enrolment criteria, denitions of MR grade, and types of patients enrolled in the three trials. For example, CABG alone may be sucient in pa­tients similar to those enrolled in the CTSN trial. is includes pa­tients with similar demographics (e.g. average age around 65years), mildly reduced le ventricular ejection fraction (approximately 40%), non- severely dilated le ventricles, and, very importantly, re­versible ischaemia where improvement in regional wall motion by CABG appears to re- establish papillary muscle function and pos­ition resulting in an improvement in MR.

relief of moderate IMR will occur in about 70% of patients, and in the remaining patients, persistent MR is only moderate in severity and well tolerated clinically. Progression to severe IMR did not occur at 2years in patients treated with the addition of mitral valve repair. In the trial by Fattouch etal. and RIME, the ventricles were larger at baseline compared to CTSN- like patients and this alone may have inuenced the benet seen in these two trials with respect to MR grade, NewYork Heart Association class, reverse remodelling, and symptoms.
Based on these trials, we recommend mitral valve repair in add­ition to CABG in patients with moderate IMR who have a large ventricle (le ventricular end- diastolic dimension >55 mm or LVESVI >50 mL/ m). Furthermore, concomitant mitral valve re­pair should be performed when the le ventricular ejection frac­tion is 35% or less, there are poor coronary bypass targets in the posterior descending coronary or circumex coronary distributions (inferior– posterior– lateral walls), there is posterior or inferolateral le ventricular wall scarring, or a basal aneurysm or dyskinesia.
Further support for these recommendations comes from a study of 135 patients with moderate IMR where the authors identied predictors of improvement of MR in unrepaired moderate IMR in patients undergoing CABG alone. ese predictors included the identication of a large extent of viable myocardium and the absence of dyssynchrony between the anterior/ lateral and posterior/ medial papillary muscles. In patients meeting both of these criteria, 93% showed an improvement in IMR with CABG alone.
In the setting of moderate IMR, treatment paradigms are easily bi­ased and may in some instances lead to a premature or delayed rec­ommendation for mitral valve repair surgery. Based on the current literature and as active participants in clinical trials of IMR, these au­thors are condent in making these recommendations and remain open to new evidence to adjust current treatment algorithms.
Severe ischaemic mitralregurgitation
Unlike moderate IMR, the crux of the controversy in severe IMR is whether to repair or replace the mitral valve in addition to coronary
revascularization. Mitral valve repair is generally associated with lower operative morbidity and mortality; however, MR recurrence rates as high as 30– 40% in the setting of IMR have been demon­strated. Mitral valve replacement, while more eectively and durably addressing mitral valve regurgitation, is associated with greater op­erative risk, and greater long- term risks of thromboembolism, valve deterioration, and endocarditis.
e landmark CTSN trial for severe IMR sought to address this controversy., Atotal of 251 patients with severe IMR were ran­domly assigned to mitral valve repair or chordal- sparing mitral valve replacement. e primary end point was LVESVI at 12months. e study demonstrated no signicant dierences in the primary end point at 12- month follow- up. Furthermore, rates of death were comparable at 14.3% in the repair group and 17.6% in the replace­ment group. ere were also no signicant dierences between the study cohorts with respect to functional status, quality of life, or major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events at 12months. Rates of recurrent moderate or severe MR were substantially higher in the repair group at 32.6% versus only 2.3% in the replacement group (P <0.001). Collectively, these data supported the use of mitral valve replacement in the setting of severe IMR.
A 2- year follow- up was performed for the same randomized trial. Again, there were comparable decreases in LVESVI be­tween the repair and replacement cohorts. Two- year mortality was also similar at 19.0% and 23.2% in the repair and replacement groups, respectively. Similar to the 1- year results, the recurrence rate of moderate or severe mitral valve regurgitation was higher in the repair group at 58.8% versus 3.8% in the replacement group (P <0.001) (Fig. 65.3). Although the rate of serious adverse events and overall hospital readmissions were comparable, patients undergoing repair had more frequent serious adverse events re­lated to heart failure and cardiovascular readmissions. e 2- year data from the CTSN severe IMR trial underscored the ndings of the 1- year analysis, with results that collectively advocate for mitral valve replacement in the setting of concomitant CABG for severe IMR.
