Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: We reviewed early and midterm outcome of 11 multivessel-disease acute coronary syndrome patients treated by hybrid revascularization, i.e., initial coronary angioplasty followed by minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting. We evaluated procedural efficacy and applicability. METHODS: Beginning in August 1997, hybrid revascularization was conducted in 11 multivessel-disease acute coronary syndrome patients--9 men and 2 women with a mean age of 70.3 +/- 9.3 years. Occlusion or stenosis of the target coronary artery was treated by interventional cardiologic techniques and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting, and the early and midterm outcome evaluated. Coronary angiography was conducted in all cases at 2 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 3 years postoperatively to evaluate anastomosis and restenosis in treated coronary vessels. RESULTS: Initial intervention succeeded in patients with minimal residual stenosis. Subsequent minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting involved no complications. Coronary angiography early postoperatively, 6 months, 1 and 3 years later showed grafts patent without stenosis. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was reconducted on restenotic lesions in 3 patients, 1 of whom required 3 procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Hybrid revascularization appears safe and effective in coronary revascularization, at least over the short term. Several patients underwent angioplasty for restenosis within 3 years after initial procedure. Overall acceptance of this hybrid method depends on long-term functional success of the 2 procedures. Its major limitation is restenosis of angioplasty sites and the need for repeat procedures.
