Abstract
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with coronary endarterectomy (CE) versus isolated CABG.Methods: Studies evaluating outcomes of CABG with CE (CE-CABG) were searched from 1 January 2000 to 30 September 2022, on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. The primary outcome was 30 -days mortality. Secondary outcomes were postoperative myocardial infraction, low output syndrome, cardiac arrhythmia, renal dysfunction, and 5 years survival.Results: A total of 12 observational studies including 114,319 patients assessing CE-CABG (n = 35,174) versus isolated CABG (n = 79,145) were included. Compared to isolated CABG alone, CE-CABG was significantly associated with increased incidences of 30-days mortality (RR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.73-2.07; p < 0.01), postoperative myocardial infraction (RR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.26-2.05; p < 0.01), low output syndrome (RR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.17-2.02; p < 0.01), and renal dysfunction (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.44-1.69; p < 0.01). However, there was no difference in either rate of cardiac arrhythmia (RR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.97-1.15; p = 0.20) or 5 years survival (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.95-1.16; p = 0.34) between the CE-CABG group and the control group. Subgroup analysis on CE technique showed that CE-CABG was also associated with 30 days mortality in patients undergoing closed CE (RR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.09-2.03), whereas this association between CE and 30 days mortality was not observed in patients undergoing open CE (RR, 1.76; 95% CI, 0.58-5.32).Conclusions: Despite poor short-term outcomes, CE-CABG appeared to offer satisfactory long-term survival in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of coronary endarterectomy (CE) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes complicated with three diffuse coronary artery stenosis. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 460 patients with diabetes mellitus and diffuse three-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent CABG in our department from September 2015 to December 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they underwent CE: the simple CABG group (group A, n = 254) and the CABG combined CE group (group B, n = 206). The perioperative outcomes, recurrent angina pectoris during 1-year follow-up, and the patency rate of the grafted vessel in coronary CT angiography were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the 30 days mortality rate between the two groups (2.3% vs 2.4%, p < 0.05). Group A had a shorter operation time [(3.55 ± 0.59) h versus (4.35 ± 0.65) h], less bypass grafts [(2.72 ± 0.83) versus (3.65 ± 0.72) vessels/case], a lower incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction (7.1% vs 12.6%), and a lower number of patent graft vessels at 1-year follow-up [(2.15 ± 0.42) versus (2.88 ± 0.68) vessels/case] compared with group B (all p < 0.05). Group A had a higher incidence of recurrent angina during follow-up (14.49% vs 6.47%) (p < 0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACCE events between the two groups, the probability of revascularization was higher in group A. CONCLUSION Compared with single CABG, combined CE in patients with diabetes mellitus and diffuse three-vessel coronary artery disease can achieve more complete revascularization, reduce the recurrence of angina pectoris and the needing of postoperative revascularization, but the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction is higher.

Abstract
Coronary endarterectomy (CE) emerged as a necessity to achieve complete surgical myocardial revascularization in patients with diffusely diseased coronary arteries and it also serves as aid to coronary bypass grafting (CABG). The safety and postoperative prognosis of this procedure are still matters of debate. There are no clear preoperative indications, a standard technique has not yet been established as gold standard and the postoperative management differs depending on each institution. CE of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is technically challenging and potentially hazardous with high risk of postoperative myocardial infarction. In this article, we describe the open technique for CE of the LAD with its specific details, which we believe could be the safest and the best reproductible option. To better understand the profile of a patient requiring such a procedure we present the case of a 73-years old male with diffused coronary artery disease (CAD) and a short review of literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of cardiogenic shock patients who were supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) after coronary endarterectomy (CE) have not yet been reported. We conducted a retrospective observational study to evaluate the short-term outcomes of patients supported with VA-ECMO after CE. METHODS Patients (n = 32) who received VA-ECMO refractory cardiogenic shock after CE between January 2011 and December 2020 at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors independently associated with in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Twenty patients (63%) could be weaned from VA-ECMO, and 12 patients (38%) survived to hospital discharge. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) time on VA-ECMO support was 4 (3-6) days. The median (IQR) length of ICU stay and hospital stay were 9 (5-13) and 20 (15-27) days, respectively. Neurological complications were observed in 4 (13%) of the patients. ECMO-related complications occurred in 9 (28%) of the patients. SAVE score was identified as an independent protective factor for in-hospital mortality (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.54-0.91; p = 0.009). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for SAVE score was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.67-0.98). SOFA score (0.78; 95% CI, 0.62-0.94) and EuroSCORE (0.79; 95% CI, 0.62-0.97) also exhibited good performances. CONCLUSIONS VA-ECMO is an acceptable technique for the treatment of cardiogenic shock in patients undergoing CE. SAVE score might be a useful tool to predict survival for these patients. Prospective studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes of hospital survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The posterior descending artery is the most common vessel chosen for an endarterectomy, while endarterectomy to the posterior descending artery is associated with decreased graft patency. The purpose of this study was to describe a distal anastomosis support (DAS) technique and retrospectively investigate the effect of DAS on the mid-term graft patency. METHODS Between January 2016 and December 2018, 200 patients with a PDA severe lesion who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) with CE (OPCAB + CE group, n = 95) and OPCAB + CE with DAS for anastomosis of PDA grafted by saphenous vein (SVG) (OPCAB + CE + DAS group, n = 105) were evaluated retrospectively. All patients came back to follow-up visit 6th, 12th, 24th, and 36th postoperative month. The primary endpoint is the graft failure (FitzGibbon B or O) of SVG-PDA on the follow-up CTA or CAG. RESULTS There was no significant difference in perioperative outcomes. We found significantly improved cumulative graft patency in OPCAB + CE + DAS group at 36 months after operation (84.6% vs 76.5%, p = 0.02). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, plaque length larger than 2 cm (hazard ratio [HR], 13.108, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.842-60.457, p = 0.001), and peak TNI ⩾70× ULN within 48 hours of surgery (HR, 3.778, 95% CI, 1.453-9.823, p = 0.006) were independent predictors of graft failure, whereas PDA diameter greater than 1.5 mm (HR, 0.231, 95% CI, 0.081-0.654, p = 0.006), and DAS use (HR, 0.336, 95% CI, 0.139-0.812, p = 0.015) were significant protective factors. CONCLUSIONS Concomitant DAS conferred superior mid-term patency of SVG-PDA. Adding the DAS procedure to OPCAB + CE may be a promising surgical option for patients with a PDA severe lesion, especially when PDA diameter less than 1.5 mm and plaque length greater than 2 cm.

Abstract
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) combined with coronary endarterectomy (CE) can be associated with high operative mortality and morbidity. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been the most widely used mechanical circulatory support device during perfusion treatment. However, the benefits of preoperative IABP in CABG combined with CE remain unknown. We conducted a retrospective observational study to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative IABP therapy in patients undergoing adjunctive right coronary artery (RCA) endarterectomy. Methods: Between May 2013 and May 2016, 120 patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) with RCA endarterectomy who received preoperative IABP support (IABP group, n=56) or who did not receive preoperative IABP support (control group, n=64) were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Patients in the IABP group had a significantly lower mean preoperative ejection fraction and a significantly higher mean EuroSCORE (both <0.05). The incidence of inferior myocardial infarction (MI) was significantly lower in the IABP group than in the control group (3.6% vs 15.6%, RR = 0.23, 95% CI 0.05-1.00, p=0.03). Hospital mortality was similar in the two groups (3.6% vs 4.7%, RR= 0.76, 95% CI 0.13-4.40, p=0.76). There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to the rates of prolonged ventilation, low cardiac output syndrome, renal failure requiring dialysis, re-operation for bleeding or IABP-related complications. Preoperative IABP may be a protective factor of inferior MI (HR = 0.031, 95% CI 0.004-0.211, p<0.001) Conclusions: The preoperative use of IABP could reduce the incidence of postoperative MI in patients undergoing CABG with CE and seemed to shift high-risk patients into a lower-risk category.

Abstract
Coronary Endarterectomy (CE) assures complete revascularization of the myocardium in case of diffusely diseased vessels and prevents residual ischemia. Recently cardiac surgeons are performing increasing number of coronary endarterectomy and it has evolved as an important adjuvant procedure in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). There are controversies regarding the efficiency of CE. CE is criticised for its higher rates of morbidity and mortality. At present the available evidence supports CE in Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass surgery (OPCAB) and along with valvular procedures. Graft patency is better with open technique. Postoperative anticoagulation regimen though not uniform, the overall outcome remains the same. Therefore, it is important to focus on the current results to accept CE as a routine procedure like CABG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary endarterectomy albeit infrequently utilized remains a pivotal treatment modality for advanced atherosclerotic heart disease. Benefits of coronary endarterectomy are explored in terms of better mid-term survival, freedom of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events and improved left ventricular ejection fraction. METHODS 50 patients with coronary artery disease including extensive diffuse LAD disease underwent a left anterior descending artery endarterectomy with coronary by-pass grafting and left internal mammary artery as conduit between 2006 and 2014. Prospective evaluation was performed on an outpatient basis with physical examination, echo recordings of ejection fraction and LAD flow reserve for 24 up to 60months. RESULTS Study group was constituted by a male to female ratio 4:1 and mean age 62.4years old. Pre-operative characteristics included patients with age<60years old and gensini score>60 in 42.1% while patients with age>60years old had gensini score (21-60) in 63.4%. Furthermore, males were affected more severely by atherosclerosis than females. Postoperative anterior wall contractility of left ventricle was improved (56% pre-op vs. 66% post-op) and hypokinesis reduced (34% pre-op vs. 24% post-op). No deaths were recorded for a mean follow-up of 48months. Also, MACCE were recorded in 8% patients. Post-operative LAD flow reserve was normal in 66% and reduced in 33% of cases. Finally, gensini score preoperatively affects mid-term flow reserve postoperatively (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Coronary endarterectomy presents a viable modality that preserves myocardial function and restores LAD flow in patients with diffuse atherosclerotic LAD. Also postoperative adverse effects were minimal while mid-term flow reserve was affected by preoperative factors.

Abstract
Background: It is still a challenge for the cardiac surgeons to achieve adequate revascularization for diffused coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary endarterectomy (CE) offers an alternative choice of coronary artery reconstruction and revascularization. In this study, short-term result of CE combined with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was discussed in the treatment for the diffused CAD. Methods: From January 2012 to April 2014, 221 cases of CABG were performed by the same surgeon in our unit. Among these cases, 38 cases of CE + CABG were performed, which was about 17.2% (38/221) of the cohort. All these patients were divided into two groups: CE + CABG group (Group A) and CABG alone group (Group B). All clinical data were compared between the two groups, and postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality were analyzed. The categorical and continuous variables were analyzed by Chi-square test and Student's t-test respectively. Results: Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and peripheral vascular disease were more common in group A. In this cohort, a total of 50 vessels were endarterectomized. Among them, CE was performed on left anterior descending artery in 11 cases, on right coronary artery in 29 cases, on diagonal artery in 3 cases, on intermediate artery in 2 cases, on obtuse marginal artery in 5 cases. There was no hospital mortality in both groups. The intro-aortic balloon pump was required in 3 cases in Group A (3/38), which was more often than that in Group B (3/183). At the time of follow-up, coronary computed tomography angiogram showed all the grafts with CE were patent (50/50). There is no cardio-related mortality in both groups. All these patients were free from coronary re-intervention. Conclusions: Coronary endarterectomy + CABG can offer satisfactory result for patients with diffused CAD in a short-term after the operation.
