BACKGROUND: Redo coronary surgery in patients with patent internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts may be hazardous. A thoracotomy approach has been used to graft the circumflex branches to avoid injury from sternal re-entry. Combining this approach with off-pump revascularization techniques may be useful. METHODS: Seven consecutive patients who had undergone prior coronary revascularization developed symptoms attributable to lateral wall ischemia. Five of them had patent IMA grafts. These patients underwent off-pump obtuse marginal grafting using local immobilization techniques via a thoracotomy approach. Inflow was from the descending aorta in 6 patients and splenic artery in 1. RESULTS: Obtuse marginal grafting was successfully performed in all cases without need for cardiopulmonary bypass. CONCLUSIONS: Off-pump obtuse marginal grafting via the thoracotomy route may be useful in redo coronary surgery, particularly in instances of patent IMA grafts. |
