Abstract

Background: Coronary endarterectomy (CE) is an optional modality for advanced diffuse atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) to complete surgical revascularization. This strategy is still debatable in the existing guidelines, particularly in off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). We present a single-center’s experience with this technique.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis in 17 patients, who underwent OPCAB surgery with coronary endarterectomy (CE) from January 2013 until December 2017. The air of study is to evaluate 30-days mortality and complications with this technique.

Results: This study included 17 patients (15 men and 2 women, mean age of 58.88±7.69 years old). Sixteen out of seventeen patients (94.1%) were performing closed endarterectomy technique and another one patient was use open endarterectomy technique. There was no mortality observed during 30-days postoperative period but one late mortality (at 6 months post-operation) due to multiple organs failure. Three patients (17.65%) developed post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and 2 patients (11.76%) had hospital acquired pneumonia with mean hospital stay of 12 days (ranged from 8-40 days).

Conclusion: Advanced diffuse CAD is still challenging condition for coronary revascularization, OPCAB with CE can be an alternative procedure with low mortality and acceptable complications under high-experienced surgeon, however, long-term clinical outcomes and post-operative angiographic data are needed for further study.
