Abstract:
Objective:To examine the early and mid-term results of coronary endarterectomy (CE) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the treatment of diffuse coronary artery stenosis.Methods:The clinical data and follow-up results of 248 patients who underwent CE+CABG surgery from January 2010 to January 2019 at Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University was analyzed retrospectively. There were 201 males and 47 females, aged (65.6±8.5) years (range: 43 to 79 years). The on-pump group included 156 patients and the off-pump group included 92 patients. CABG was performed after CE. CE was performed on 248 patients who represented 269 target coronary lesions, of which 108 were located on the left anterior descending artery and sub-branches, 140 were located on the right coronary artery and sub-branches, and 21 were located on the left circumflex artery and obtuse marginal artery. A total of 872 bypass grafts were performed, including 248 left internal thoracic arteries, 48 radial arteries, and 576 great saphenous veins, with (3.5±0.8) grafts (range:2 to 6 grafts) per patient.The grafts had satisfactory bridge blood flow after CE, with the graft flow rates of (26±8) ml/min (range: 13 to 59 ml/min) and the pulsatility index value of 3.1±0.8 (range: 2.0 to 6.7). The t test and χ 2 test was used to compare the surgical results and graft patency rate between patients in on-pump and off-pump group, respectively. Results:The number of graft vessels of on-pump group and off-pump group was 3.6±0.9 and 3.2±0.7, respectively( t=1.637, P=0.085). There were 3 deaths during the perioperative period, with a mortality rate of 1.2%. Two people died of renal failure, and one case was due to postoperative refractory low cardiac output. Perioperative myocardial infarction occurred in 9 cases. The follow-up time was (41.8±21.4) months (range:1 to 68 months). The all graft patency rate was 78.4%(812/232) in 1 year and 69.8%(162/232) in 3 years postoperatively. The left coronary graft patency rate was significantly higher than the right coronary graft patency rate(1-year: 87.4% vs.73.1%, χ2=6.533, P=0.011, 3-year: 78.2% vs. 64.8%, χ2=4.588, P=0.032). There was no significant difference in graft patency rates between the on-pump group and off-pump group (1-year: 80.0% vs. 76.9%, χ2=0.277, P=0.599, 3-year:71.5% vs. 67.9%, χ2=0.300, P=0.584). Conclusions:CE+CABG is a safe and feasible technique for patients with diffuse coronary artery disease to get more satisfied complete revascularization, with good early and medium-term results and graft patency rates. The outcomes of on-pump or off-pump CE+CABG are similar.
