Off- pump atrial fibrillationprocedure
An alternative surgical approach is based on o- pump bilateral pul­monary vein isolation with a bipolar RF clamp. is approach en­ables dissection around the pulmonary veins and introduction of the bipolar clamp, creation of some connecting lesions, as well as management of the LAA. However, the lesion set is not a Cox maze
IV and in the patient with symptomatic AF who requires CABG, we recommend an on- pump procedure in order to facilitate a biatrial Cox– maze IV procedure.
Perioperativemanagement
e maze procedure does not immediately cure AF in most patients. us, both heart rhythm surveillance and heart rhythm manage­ment are necessary. Post- ablation AF occurs in 30– 60% of patients; however, by 3months aer surgery, 65– 85% of these patients have

returned to normal sinus rhythm. e precise cause of perioperative AF is unknown, although changes in adrenergic tone and inamma­tion may contribute.
Preoperative beta blockers should be continued in all patients who do not have a contraindication. Additional antiarrhythmic medication (most oen amiodarone, sotalol, or propafenone) is recommended in patients with post- ablation AF for 4– 6 weeks. In addition, a one- time in- hospital cardioversion attempt in the pa­tient who fails chemical cardioversion should be performed. All patients are discharged on warfarin for 6months with the target international normalized ratio of 2.0. If a patient has no AF on a long- term monitor performed at 3months, no le atrial smoke on echocardiography, and a well- controlled LAA, and no other indica­tion for anticoagulation, we believe that it is reasonable to discon­tinue warfarin. Electrical cardioversion is attempted at 3months postoperatively for patients who remain in AF.
Post- CABG atrialfibrillation
New- onset postoperative AF aects one- third of patients under­going cardiac surgery and it is associated with an increased imme­diate risk of stroke, morbidity, and 30- day mortality. Prophylactic antiarrhythmic drug treatment may be initiated but will have to be weighed against side eects. Furthermore, anticoagulation treat­ment with warfarin or non- vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagu­lants for stroke prevention in patients with postoperative AF should also follow the guidelines for the antithrombotic treatment of AF occurring outside the setting of CABG using the CHADS- VASc (Cardiac failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75 (Doubled), Diabetes, Stroke (Doubled)— Vascular disease, Age 65– 74, and Sex category (Female)) score.
Conclusion
A substantial number of CABG patients are presenting with AF and its association with decreased long- term survival and increased risk of stroke and heart failure is well established. Avariety of new low- risk procedures with new ablation technology can be applied in patients undergoing concomitant CABG, and the addition of a maze procedure does not increase operative mortality or morbidity. Although these technologies have not been prospectively studied in patients undergoing CABG, several clues have been identied so far:
1. Pulmonary vein isolation alone may be adequate for those with
paroxysmal AF but may not be the optimum strategy for patients with persistent and long- standing persistent AF.
2. Ablation lines should be continuous and transmural.
3. Surgical ablation should include management of the le atrial
appendage.

Coronary artery bypass graing with postinfarction ventricular septal defect and with ventricularpseudoaneurysm
Mitesh V. Badiwala
Introduction
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) and ventricular pseudoaneurysm are potentially lethal complications following acute transmural myo­cardial infarction. Both require urgent treatment due to resultant cardiogenic shock and/ or impending rupture resulting in sudden death. Indeed, the most recent 2018 European Society of Cardiology/ European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery Guidelines on myocardial revascularization give a classI, level C recommenda­tion that:‘In cases of haemodynamic instability, emergency surgical or catheter- based repair of mechanical complications of ACS is in­dicated, as decided by the Heart Team’. Historically, patients suf­fering from these mechanical complications had a very high risk of mortality without urgent surgical intervention. Unfortunately, early experience with surgical repair also resulted in a high incidence of early mortality, albeit still superior to medical management.
Cooley and colleagues were the rst to report surgical repair of a postinfarction VSD; however, the patient died 6 weeks later. ereaer, Daggett and colleagues introduced infarctectomy and reconstructive techniques that reduced operative mortality. More recently, improved surgical technique and particularly the infarct exclusion technique for VSD repair, has resulted in improvement in surgical outcomes and signicantly reduced mortality.
It is important to recognize, however, that both of these mech­anical complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have become increasingly rare as prompt treatment of AMI with emer­gent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as the standard of care. As such, most surgeons do not gain signicant ex­perience in their surgical treatment.
Epidemiology and naturalhistory
Early death from AMI is a result of cardiogenic shock and/ or cardiac rupture. Two autopsy series reported the sites of cardiac rupture in
patients who had fatal AMI., e site of rupture in the majority of these fatal cases was the le ventricular free wall (53– 62%). e second most common site of cardiac rupture was the interventricular septum (18– 25%). Arupture of both the free wall and septum was observed in 3– 6% of cases.
Rupture of the interventricular septum resulting in a postinfarction VSD, in the current era, is a rare complication in 0.25– 0.31% of pa­tients presenting with AMI and although typically occurring be­tween 2 and 4days aer transmural infarction can also occur earlier or as late as 2 weeks following infarction. Postinfarction anterior VSD is the most common location of septal rupture following AMI, aer occlusion of the le anterior descending coronary ar­tery and is most frequently located in the distal half of the an­terior interventricular septum. is is in contrast to postinfarction posterior VSDs which usually occur in the proximal half of the interventricular septum as a result of occlusion of a dominant right coronary artery, or rarely a dominant circumex artery and oen accompanied by signicant right ventricular dysfunction. e inci­dence of single- , double- , and triple- vessel coronary artery disease among patients with postinfarction VSD is evenly distributed.
e prognosis of postinfarction VSD is extremely poor. Moreyra and colleagues reported the outcomes of 148,881 adult patients ad­mitted to hospital with a diagnosis of acute ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction. In- hospital death occurred in 50% of the 408 patients presenting with a postinfarction VSD compared to 18% among those without a VSD. Moreover, the 1- year mortality rate among those with postinfarction VSD was observed to be 65%.
Le ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a type of ‘contained’ free wall rupture that occurs uncommonly. e majority of le ventricular free wall ruptures result in acute hemopericardium, cardiac tam­ponade, and death within minutes. Rarely, a le ventricular free wall rupture occurs with slow leakage of blood whereby the epicardium may ‘control’ the bleeding while adhesions between the pericar­dium and epicardium provide reinforcement. When the adhesions have sucient strength to ‘contain’ the rupture, a pseudoaneurysm

develops. While this containment allows time for diagnosis and intervention, le ventricular pseudoaneurysms have a high risk of rupture.
Similar to postinfarction VSD, postinfarction pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of AMI. Csapo and colleagues examined 2600 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography fol­lowing AMI and identied six pseudoaneurysms resulting in an incidence of 0.26%. Importantly, the identication and diag­nosis of a pseudoaneurysm occurred on average 37 days (range 3– 80 days) following infarction. Frances and colleagues further characterized the presentation and natural history of le ventricular pseudoaneurysms in 290 patients. ey found that posterior pseudoaneurysms (43%) were more than twice as common as an­terior pseudoaneurysms (18%), and that lateral (28%) and apical (24%) locations were also common sites for pseudoaneurysm for­mation. Conservative treatment with only medical management oc­curred in 31 of the 290 patients, and 48% of these patients died at a median of less than 1 week, presumably due to rupture. e 1- and 5- year survival of those treated medically was only 39% and 16%, respectively. us, postinfarction le ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a highly lethal diagnosis with a poor prognosis with conservative medical management.
prompt surgery performed thereaer. In the haemodynamically un­stable patient, medical management with inotropes and vasodilators as well as mechanical support with an intra- aortic balloon pump are generally used to stabilize the patient prior to coronary angiography and immediate surgical therapy. Coronary angiography, if possible, is necessary because revascularization of multivessel coronary ar­tery disease at the time of surgical intervention improves operative and long- term outcome.,– 
With increasing surgical experience, mechanical circulatory support (including venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxy­genation and total articial hearts) allows a dierent algorithm for management for postinfarction VSD in haemodynamically unstable patients. Cinq- Mars and colleagues have proposed alternative treat­ment strategies such as bridges to and/ or heart transplantation in haemodynamically unstable patients. While these alternative strategies may provide haemodynamic stability and time for nec­rotic muscle to be partially replaced by brous tissue to facilitate repair techniques, they do not obviate the need for prompt deni­tive repair when the patient is stabilized from the acute phase of the myocardial infarction. Conservative management of haemodynam­ically stable patients is not advised since most of these patients even­tually develop congestive heart failure and/ or cardiogenic shock.
While the operative techniques for anterior versus posterior VSD repair are unique, the operative planning and set- up are similar.
Clinical presentation anddiagnosis
Aer median sternotomy and aortic cannulation, both vena cavae are cannulated and snared to ensure complete venous drainage and
e clinical presentation of postinfarction VSD, oen with con­gestive heart failure and/ or cardiogenic shock, is dependent on the magnitude of the infarction and the resulting right and/ or le ven­tricular dysfunction as well as the degree of le- to- right shunting. However, a VSD may be diagnosed prior to the development of heart failure or cardiogenic shock with auscultation of a new heart murmur or with routine transthoracic echocardiography. e diagnosis of a postinfarction VSD can also occur in the cardiac catheterization la­boratory on a contrast ventriculogram. In the haemodynamically stable patient, coronary angiography should be performed in an­ticipation of prompt surgical intervention prior to further clinical deterioration.
While the most common clinical presentation of patients with postinfarction le ventricular pseudoaneurysm is congestive heart failure, patients can also present with angina, syncope, ventricular arrhythmias, and/ or thromboembolic complications. e diag­nosis of ventricular pseudoaneurysm can be made with echocar­diography, contrast ventriculography, computed tomography scan with contrast, or magnetic resonance imaging. e diagnosis may be incidental or conrmed by further imaging if prompted by suspicion on echocardiography. If the patient is haemodynamically stable, cor­onary angiography should be considered, but in unstable patients, emergent surgical intervention should take priority.
avoidance of air entrainment. Cardiopulmonary bypass with sys­temic hypothermia to 32°C is typically used with a combination of antegrade and retrograde cold blood cardioplegia for myocardial protection. Myocardial revascularization of signicant coronary artery disease supplying non- infarcted myocardium is performed prior to VSD repair. While most surgeons use an internal thoracic artery in these patients, others use saphenous vein gra exclusively to permit cardioplegia administration while performing the VSD re­pair. While a trans le ventricular approach is usual in most patients presenting with an acute postinfarction VSD, others such as the Mayo Clinic group, have reported successful results using a trans­atrial approach for basal ventricular septal defect.
Once revascularization and repair of the VSD are complete, the patient is weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass oen with the sup­port of an intra- aortic balloon pump and inotropic support, particu­larly if they were in cardiogenic shock and congestive heart failure prior to surgery. In some cases, mechanical circulatory support may be required as a bridge to recovery. Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography is used to assess ventricular function, residual shunts, and the presence of mitral regurgitation.
AnteriorVSD
An incision is made in the apex of the le ventricle 1– 2 cm par­allel to the le anterior descending artery through the infarcted and necrotic muscle. e margins of the ventriculotomy are secured
Operative timing andtechniques
Postinfarction ventricular septaldefect
As soon as the diagnosis of postinfarction VSD is made, urgent sur­gical treatment is mandatory. In the haemodynamically stable pa­tient, coronary angiography should be performed immediately with
to the surgical drapes with a series of stay sutures to expose the interventricular septum. e VSD is located and the margins of the infarcted muscle are identied. Aglutaraldehyde- xed bovine pericardial patch is tailored to the shape of the le ventricular in­farction and is usually oval but 1– 2cm larger with an average size of 4 × 6cm and is then sutured to the healthy non- infarcted endo­cardium all around the infarcted muscle using continuous 3- 0

polypropylene suture starting at the lowest and most proximal part of the intraventricular septum as depicted in Fig. 68.1. e patch is sutured to the interventricular septum and then to the lateral ven­tricular wall, eectively excluding the infarcted muscle from the le ventricular cavity. e stitches should be placed 5– 7mm deep within the muscle and 4– 5mm apart. e stitches in the patch should be at least 5– 7mm from the free margin so as to allow the patch to cover the area between the entrance and exit of the sutures in the myocar­dium. is technique minimizes the risk of tearing the muscle as the sutures are tightened. e sutures should be interrupted every 3 or 4cm and the knots le in the space between the patch and the infarcted wall. e ventriculotomy is then simply closed over two
strips of bovine pericardium or Teon® felt in two layers using 2- 0 or 3- 0 polypropylene sutures as shown in Fig. 68.1. No infarctectomy is performed unless the necrotic tissue along the ventriculotomy is sloughing at the time of closure. is technique has been used exclu­sively at our institution since 1987 and has been called the ‘infarc­tion exclusion technique’.
PosteriorVSD
In general, repair of the posterior VSD is a more technically chal­lenging operation than repair of the anterior VSD due to dicult exposure and more complex anatomy involving the mitral valve. Similar to the technique described for anterior VSD repair, we have

used the ‘infarction exclusion technique’ for VSD repair. An incision is made in the inferior wall of the le ventricle 1 or 2cm from the posterior descending artery. e incision is started at the midpoint of the inferior wall and extended proximally towards the mitral an­nulus and distally towards the apex of the le ventricle. Exposure of the le ventricular cavity is facilitated with stay sutures that are passed through the apex of the le ventricle and margins of the ventriculotomy as shown in Fig. 68.2. e VSD is located and fre­quently lies in the proximal half of the posterior septum. e extent of the infarction is assessed and oen includes the lower third of the interventricular septum, the posterior wall, and almost always the posteromedial papillary muscle. Apatch of glutaraldehyde- xed bovine pericardium is then tailored to the same shape as the infarct
in the le ventricle which is triangular in shape but 2cm wider and longer and is usually 4 × 7cm in most patients. e base of the triangular- shaped patch is then sutured to the brous annulus of the mitral valve or to the adjacent ventricular muscle if it is not infarcted with a continuous 3- 0 polypropylene suture starting at a point cor­responding to the level of the posteromedial papillary muscle and moving medially towards the septum until the non- infarcted endo­cardium is reached. At that level, the suture is interrupted and excess patch material is trimmed. e medial margin of the triangular­shaped patch is then sewn to the healthy septal endocardium with a continuous suture. e lateral side of the patch is then sutured to the posterior wall of the le ventricle along a line corresponding to the medial margin of the base of the posteromedial papillary muscle. Since the posterior wall of the le ventricle is infarcted, it is oen ne­cessary to use full- thickness bites and to anchor the sutures on a strip of pericardium or Teon® felt on the epicardial surface of the pos­terior wall of the le ventricle as shown in Fig. 68.2. Once the patch is completely sutured to the mitral annulus, the endocardium of the interventricular septum, and the full thickness of the posterior wall, the ventriculotomy is closed in two layers of sutures buttressed on strips of pericardium or Teon® felt. e infarcted right ventricular wall is le undisturbed.
Alternative strategies to address a large posterior VSD have also been utilized. e two- patch technique described by Madsen and Daggett is one such technique that has been used frequently. In brief, the posterior VSD is visualized by either a ventriculotomy made through the inferior right or le ventricular wall parallel to the posterior descending artery. e VSD is then closed with the rst patch, usually placed from the le ventricular aspect of the VSD. e defect in the right or le ventricle is then closed with a second patch.
Postinfarction ventricularpseudoaneurysm
When the diagnosis of le ventricular pseudoaneurysm is made soon (within a few months) aer myocardial infarction, urgent surgery following coronary angiography is usually recommended because of the unpredictability and high risk of rupture. If the diag­nosis is made several months or years aer infarction, the timing of an operation is generally determined by the symptoms and severity of coronary artery disease instead of the risk of rupture which is gen­erally considered much lower than in the acute phase.
Le ventricular pseudoaneurysms are repaired using techniques that are similar to repair of true ventricular aneurysms. Most acute ventricular pseudoaneurysms are optimally repaired with a circular or endocardial patch of either glutaraldehyde- xed bovine pericar­dium or Dacron®. Chronic ventricular pseudoaneurysms can be re­paired primarily with closure of the neck of the pseudoaneurysm which is usually brotic aer it has healed. Importantly, posterior pseudoaneurysms whether acute or chronic, are safer to reconstruct and close with a patch so as to not distort the mitral valve apparatus and cause worsening of mitral regurgitation.

stage cannula is placed in the right atrium with care taken to not disturb the le ventricle as disruption of the pseudoaneurysm may occur and there is a risk of embolization of intramural thrombus. Cardiopulmonary bypass with systemic hypothermia to 32°C is typically used. e ascending aorta is cross- clamped and

antegrade cold blood cardioplegia is delivered through the aortic root. Retrograde cardioplegia may also be used but the risk of dis­ruption of the pseudoaneurysm with placement of the retrograde cardioplegic cannula should also be considered and thus is usu­ally avoided until the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary by­pass. Ale ventricular vent is placed through the right superior pulmonary vein. e location of the pseudoaneurysm with its ad­hesions to the pericardium are identied. Distal coronary targets for bypass are also identied. e pseudoaneurysm is opened and the neck of the aneurysm is identied between the le ventricle and the pseudoaneurysm chamber. As mentioned previously, generally a circular patch is used to close the defect which is usu­ally small. Aglutaraldehyde- xed bovine pericardium or Dacron® patch is trimmed to a circular shape larger (and much larger in the setting of an acute infarct) in diameter than the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. e patch is then sewn to either the brotic rim at the neck of the pseudoaneurysm or in the acute infarct scenario, to healthy viable myocardium using a running 3- 0 polypropylene suture interrupted at three or four locations along the suture line as shown in Fig. 68.3. e pseudoaneurysm wall is then closed over the patch with a double layer of running 2- 0 or 3- 0 polypro­pylene sutures. Coronary artery bypass graing is then performed in the usual manner. Once revascularization and repair of the pseudoaneurysm are complete, the patient is weaned from cardio­pulmonary bypass in the usual manner.
lethal complication of myocardial infarction continues to be a sur­gical challenge due to its rare occurrence.
e specic impact and long- term benet of concomitant cor­onary revascularization at the time of postinfarction VSD repair has been reported by Muehrcke and colleagues in 75 patients undergoing postinfarction VSD repair. Among patients who did not undergo concomitant coronary bypass of angiographically demonstrated stenotic coronary arteries at the time of VSD repair, 5- and 10- year actuarial survival were 29% ± 11% and 0% compared to 72% ± 8% and 48% ± 10% respectively in patients who underwent multivessel bypass graing (P = 0.0015). Similarly, Cox and colleagues re­ported their experience with 109 consecutive patients undergoing postinfarction VSD repair. In this cohort of patients, 41% under­went coronary artery bypass graing and the authors found incom­plete revascularization was associated with a 12- fold increase in the risk for late cardiac death (30days aer primary operation). us, these results suggest that concomitant myocardial revascularization at the time of postinfarction VSD repair signicantly improves late survival and should be performed in all patients.
Repair of the postinfarction ventricular pseudoaneurysm con­tinues to be a high- risk surgical procedure. In one of the rst series of results of surgical treatment, 12 patients underwent repair of ventricular pseudoaneurysm at our institution, with four patients receiving mitral valve replacement, and nine receiving concomi­tant coronary artery bypass. e operative mortality was 25%, and all deaths occurred in patients requiring mitral valve replace-

ment. Of the patients who survived the operation, all were alive aer a mean follow- up of 62months. e largest experience with postinfarction pseudoaneurysm repair was described by Frances
Surgical outcomes following repair of postinfarction VSD have improved with advances in surgical technique. Daggett and col­leagues reported an improved in- hospital mortality of 30% with their strategy of prompt surgery, cold cardioplegia, and the liberal use of infarctectomy and patch repair. e use of an infarction ex­clusion technique further improved the results of VSD repair in this setting. Among 52 consecutive patients at our institute undergoing postinfarction VSD repair using the infarction exclusion technique, two- thirds of whom were in cardiogenic shock at the time of the operation, a 19% operative mortality was observed. Furthermore, the actual survival at 8years was 59% with only two patients having a small residual VSD at a mean follow- up of 40 ± 34 months. e largest report of the experience with postinfarction VSD re­pair has been described by Arnaoutakis and colleagues who per­formed a retrospective review of the Society of oracic Surgeons National Database identifying 2876 adult patients who underwent postinfarction VSD repair between 1999 and 2010. Of these pa­tients, 65% were supported with an intra- aortic balloon pump pre-
and colleagues who reported an operative mortality of 23% among 107 patients undergoing surgical ventricular pseudoaneurysm re­pair. All 82 patients surviving the initial operation were alive at a median of 46 weeks. Most recently, 30 patients undergoing repair of postinfarction le ventricular pseudoaneurysm at the Cleveland Clinic was reported by Atik and colleagues with a hospital mortality of 20%. Among these patients, 57% received concomitant cor­onary artery bypass graing. Late survival in their cohort of patients was 73%, 59%, and 45% at 1, 5, and 8years, respectively. us, re­pair of postinfarction le ventricular pseudoaneurysm continues to have a high operative mortality, particularly in those requiring con­comitant mitral valve surgery. e benet of concomitant coronary bypass graing at the time of ventricular pseudoaneurysm repair has not been specically evaluated; however, given the ischaemic na­ture underlying the postinfarction pseudoaneurysm, optimization of coronary perfusion to viable myocardium would be anticipated to confer long- term benet similar to that observed for concomitant revascularization performed at the time of VSD repair.
operatively and concomitant coronary artery bypass graing was performed in 64% of patients. e operative mortality was 54% if a repair was performed within 7days of infarction and only 18%

if performed more than 7days aer infarction. e overall opera­tive mortality was 43%. e most common cause of death (77%) was cardiac in nature. Age, female sex, shock, preoperative intra- aortic balloon pump use, moderate to severe mitral insuciency, redo op­eration, and emergency status were independently associated with a greater odds of operative death. us, the general experience with postinfarction VSD repair is relatively poor and this potentially
Postinfarction VSD and ventricular pseudoaneurysm continue to be rare complications of AMI. Because they are rare, surgical ex­perience with these conditions is generally limited. Advancements in surgical technique and experience have, however, resulted in im­proved survival following these operations. e infarction exclusion technique for repair of postinfarction VSD in particular has resulted
