Surgical Coronary Revascularization in Patients With Underlying Atrial Fibrillation: State-of-the-Art Review. Mayo Clin Proc 2024; 99:955-970. [PMID: 38661599 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2023.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
The number of individuals referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with preoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported to be 8% to 20%. Atrial fibrillation is a known marker of high-risk patients as it was repeatedly found to negatively influence survival. Therefore, when performing surgical revascularization, consideration should be given to the concomitant treatment of the arrhythmia, the clinical consequences of the arrhythmia itself, and the selection of adequate surgical techniques. This state-of-the-art review aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current understanding of, advancements in, and optimal strategies for CABG in patients with underlying AF. The following topics are considered: stroke prevention, prophylaxis and occurrence of postoperative AF, the role of surgical ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion, and an on-pump vs off-pump strategy. Multiple acute complications can occur in patients with preexisting AF undergoing CABG, each of which can have a significant effect on patient outcomes. Long-term results in these patients and the future perspectives of this scientific area were also addressed. Preoperative arrhythmia should always be considered for surgical ablation because such an approach improves prognosis without increasing perioperative risk. While planning a revascularization strategy, it should be noted that although off-pump coronary artery bypass provides better short-term outcomes, conventional on-pump approach may be beneficial at long-term follow-up. By collecting the current evidence, addressing knowledge gaps, and offering practical recommendations, this state-of-the-art review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians involved in the management of patients with AF undergoing CABG, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes and enhanced patient care.

[PMID: 38002729 PMCID: PMC10672592 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) in the surgical management of obstructive coronary artery disease remains high despite a growing understanding of their limitations in longevity. In contemporary practice, approximately 95% of patients receive one SVG in addition to a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft. The precise patency rates for SVGs vary widely in the literature, with estimates of up to 61% failure rate at greater than 10 years of follow-up. SVGs are known to progressively degenerate over time and, even if they remain patent, demonstrate marked accelerated atherosclerosis. Multiple studies have demonstrated a marked acceleration of atherosclerosis in bypassed native coronary arteries compared to non-bypassed arteries, which predisposes to a high number of native chronic total occlusions (CTOs) and subsequent procedural challenges when managing graft failure. Patients with failing SVGs frequently require revascularisation to previously grafted territories, with estimates of 13% of CABG patients requiring an additional revascularisation procedure within 10 years. Redo CABG confers a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality and, as such, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the favoured strategy for revascularisation in SVG failure. Percutaneous treatment of a degenerative SVG provides unique challenges secondary to a tendency for frequent superimposed thrombi on critical graft stenoses, friable lesions with marked potential for distal embolization and subsequent no-reflow phenomena, and high rates of peri-procedural myocardial infarction (MI). Furthermore, the rates of restenosis within SVG stents are disproportionately higher than native vessel PCI despite the advances in drug-eluting stent (DES) technology. The alternative to SVG PCI in failed grafts is PCI to the native vessel, 'replacing' the grafts and restoring patency within the previously grafted coronary artery, with or without occluding the donor graft. This strategy has additional challenges to de novo coronary artery PCI, however, due to the high burden of complex atherosclerotic lesion morphology, extensive coronary calcification, and the high incidence of CTO. Large patient cohort studies have reported worse short- and long-term outcomes with SVG PCI compared to native vessel PCI. The PROCTOR trial is a large and randomised control trial aimed at assessing the superiority of native vessel PCI versus vein graft PCI in patients with prior CABG awaiting results. This review article will explore the complexities of SVG failure and assess the contemporary evidence in guiding optimum percutaneous interventional strategy.

Abstract
Despite the excellent long-term results of internal mammary artery (IMA)-left anterior descending (LAD) bypass, percutaneous revascularization of IMA is sometimes required for IMA-LAD bypass failure. However, its clinical outcomes have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term clinical outcomes, including target lesion revascularization (TLR) following contemporary percutaneous revascularization of failed IMA bypass graft. We examined data of 59 patients who had undergone percutaneous revascularization of IMA due to IMA-LAD bypass failure at nine hospitals. Patients with IMA graft used for Y-composite graft or sequential bypass graft were excluded. The incidence of TLR was primarily examined, whereas other clinical outcomes including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization were also evaluated. Mean age of the enrolled patients was 67.4 ± 11.3 years, and 74.6% were men. Forty patients (67.8%) had anastomotic lesions, and 17 (28.8%) underwent revascularization within three months after bypass surgery. Procedural success was achieved in 55 (93.2%) patients. Stent implantation was performed in 13 patients (22.0%). During a median follow-up of 1401 days (interquartile range, 282-2521 days), TLR was required in six patients (8.5% at 1, 3, and 5 years). Patients who underwent percutaneous revascularization within 3 months after surgery tended to have a higher incidence of TLR. Clinical outcomes of IMA revascularization for IMA-LAD bypass failure were acceptable.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 100:1182-1194.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the outcomes of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) with traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD). BACKGROUND HCR has emerged as an alternative to CABG in patients with MVCAD. Through minimally invasive surgical techniques, HCR carries the potential for faster recovery postoperatively, fewer complications, and lower utilization of resources. METHODS Systematic search of electronic databases was conducted up to December 2021 and studies comparing HCR with CABG in the treatment of MVCAD were included in this meta-analysis. Primary outcomes of interest were incidence of 5-year mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebral event (MACCE). RESULTS Fourteen studies (12 observational studies and 2 randomized controlled trials) comprising 4226 patients were included. The rates of 5-year mortality (odds ratios [OR]: 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.92-2.62; I2 = 83.0%) and long-term MACCE (OR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.47-2.01; I2 = 74.7%) were comparable between HCR and CABG groups. HCR was associated with a significantly lower likelihood of perioperative blood transfusion (OR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.25-0.51; I2 = 55.9%), shorter mean hospital stay (weighted mean difference: -2.04; 95% CI: -2.60 to -1.47; I2 = 54%), and risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (OR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.23-0.88; p = 0.02). CABG demonstrated a lower likelihood of requiring long-term repeat revascularization (OR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.03-2.20; I2 = 18%) over a follow-up duration of 29.14 ± 21.75 months. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that HCR is feasible and safe for the treatment of MVCAD. However, benefits of HCR should be carefully weighed against the increased long-term risk of repeat-revascularization when selecting patients, and further studies evaluating differences in long-term mortality between HCR and CABG are required.

Percutaneous coronary intervention versus repeat surgical revascularization in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting: A systematic review and meta-analysis. JTCVS OPEN 2022; 12:177-191.

Abstract
Objectives Repeat coronary artery bypass grafting (RCABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are both used for the treatment of symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease and prior CABG, but the optimal treatment strategy remains unknown. We sought to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare operative and follow-up outcomes following RCABG versus PCI in patients with prior CABG. Methods Medline and Embase were searched for studies comparing RCABG versus PCI. The primary outcome was follow-up mortality, and secondary outcomes were follow-up repeat revascularization, operative mortality, periprocedural stroke, and myocardial infarction. Time-to-event outcomes were summarized as incidence rate ratios, whereas operative outcomes were summarized as odds ratios. A random effect meta-analysis was performed. Individual patient survival data was extracted from available survival curves and reconstructed using restricted mean survival time. Results Among 2982 articles, 7 studies (9945 patients) were included. In the aggregated data meta-analysis, there was no difference in follow-up survival between RCABG and PCI (incidence rate ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.83-1.25); however, restricted mean survival time analysis of individual data showed a survival benefit for RCABG over PCI (0.7 years; 95% CI, 0.23-1.19 years; P = .004). PCI was found to have a higher incidence rate of follow-up need for repeat revascularization (incidence rate ratio, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.16-2.23), but lower odds for operative mortality and stroke. No difference in the odds for myocardial infarction was found. Conclusions In patients with prior CABG, PCI is associated with better operative outcomes, but RCABG is associated with better survival and freedom from repeat revascularization at follow-up.

Repeat Revascularization Post Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Comparing Minimally Invasive and Traditional Sternotomy Techniques in 1468 Cases. Cureus 2022; 14:e25687. [PMID: 35812562 PMCID: PMC9259080 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.25687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Traditional open sternotomy coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) utilizes highly invasive techniques that lead to several serious complications. In response, minimally invasive cardiac surgery CABG (MICS-CABG) was developed. MICS-CABG is safe, reproducible, and with fewer complications, while allowing for better postoperative recovery periods. There is a paucity of data exploring rates of repeat revascularization in patients post MICS-CABG compared to post traditional sternotomy CABG. Methods: This was a retrospective billing database review examining 1468 CABG patients at a large university medical center from January 2005 to December 2017. The primary objective was to compare the rate of repeat revascularization events between MICS-CABG and traditional open sternotomy CABG over an eight-year follow-up period. Results: Our study population consisted of 1468 patients, of whom 513 had MICS-CABG and 955 had traditional CABG. The number of patients undergoing repeat revascularization within the eight-year surveillance was 99 for MICS-CABG and 75 for traditional CABG. The Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates for eight years were 0.86 for MICS-CABG and 0.91 for traditional CABG. The mean time until a repeat revascularization event was 84.1 months for MICS-CABG and 88.5 months for traditional CABG. Conclusions: Traditional CABG was found to have a statistically significantly longer time to repeat revascularization than MICS-CABG. Despite the technical challenges associated with MICS-CABG, the time to repeat revascularization was different by only about four months, which may not hold large clinical significance. This suggests that MICS-CABG may have a role to play due to previous findings showing a reduction in complications while allowing for better postoperative recovery periods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery typically have complex coronary disease and remain at high risk of adverse events. Quantitative myocardial perfusion indices predict outcomes in native vessel disease, but their prognostic performance in patients with prior CABG is unknown. OBJECTIVES In this study, we sought to evaluate whether global stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) and perfusion reserve (MPR) derived from perfusion mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) independently predict adverse outcomes in patients with prior CABG. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with prior CABG referred for adenosine stress perfusion CMR. Perfusion mapping was performed in-line with automated quantification of MBF. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events defined as nonfatal myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularization. Associations were evaluated with the use of Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for comorbidities and CMR parameters. RESULTS A total of 341 patients (median age 67 years, 86% male) were included. Over a median follow-up of 638 days (IQR: 367-976 days), 81 patients (24%) reached the primary outcome. Both stress MBF and MPR independently predicted outcomes after adjusting for known prognostic factors (regional ischemia, infarction). The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for 1 mL/g/min of decrease in stress MBF was 2.56 (95% CI: 1.45-4.35) and for 1 unit of decrease in MPR was 1.61 (95% CI: 1.08-2.38). CONCLUSIONS Global stress MBF and MPR derived from perfusion CMR independently predict adverse outcomes in patients with previous CABG. This effect is independent from the presence of regional ischemia on visual assessment and the extent of previous infarction.

Abstract
Objective To determine factors associated with repeat revascularization among adults aged 25 years and above within 5 years of first Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) at a tertiary care hospital. Methods A matched case-control study was conducted through a hospital records review. A total of 90 cases with repeat revascularization and 180 controls without repeat revascularization were included. Data was analyzed using Multiple Conditional Logistic Regression. Results The mean age was similar in cases and controls (60.05 ± 10.01 vs 62.20 ± 10.43 years) and sex (male: 77.8% vs. 76.1%). History of being an ever-smoker (40% vs. 25%), overweight (36.3% vs. 30.6%), and poor glycemic control (23.3% vs. 12.2%) were more among the cases than controls. However, obesity (53.7% vs. 44.3%) and pre-diabetes (16.1% vs. 7.8%) were more in controls compared to cases. Upon matching on the time of index PCI, the adjusted odds of ever smokers among patients with repeat revascularization was 2.47 times the odds of ever smokers among patients who did not undergo revascularization. Increasing stent diameter by 1 mm was found to reduce the risk of repeat revascularization by 51%. Conclusions Smoking cessation and appropriate selection of stent diameter in patients undergoing revascularization can reduce the risk of repeat revascularization in the future. Study assessed determinants of repeat revascularization after initial PCI from a large tertiary care hospital in Karachi. Ever smokers undergoing index PCI have 2.47 times increased risk of repeat revascularization. 1 mm increase in stent diameter reduces 51% risk of repeat revascularization. Association between smoking and repeat revascularization may be a severe problem than estimated due to the reporting bias. More effective and well-tolerated strategies are needed for smoking cessation and sustain abstinence.

Cardiovascular Risk Profile, Presentation and Management Outcomes of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. Curr Probl Cardiol 2021; 47:101078.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass (CABG) is an important revascularization procedure with excellent long-term results. However, bypass grafts, particularly venous grafts, develop structural changes and atherosclerotic plaques that may cause angina or even acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Here we aimed to study patients with previous CABG presenting with an ACS and evaluated their cardiovascular (CV) risk profile, clinical presentations, angiographic findings, management strategies and short and long term outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This represents an observational retrospective cross sectional single center study including all consecutive patients with previous CABG presenting with ACS at the University Heart Center of the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016. Mean age was 76.4 years and 83.1% were males. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 1-year follow up and long-term follow up were analyzed using Kaplan Meyer survival analysis. RESULTS We included 510 patients with ACS and prior CABG. Most patients were elderly at the time of presentation. 60.2% were diabetics and 58.6% obese, 43.5% hypertensives and 37.8% had hyperlipidemia. 73% (n=372) presented as unstable angina (UA), 22.5% as NSTEMI (n=115) and only 4.5% as STEMI (n=23). The acute events occurred in 4.9% (n=25) before discharge, in 4.9% (n=25) within the first year and in 90.2% (n=460) thereafter. Most of the patients (92.2%; n=470) had stenosed or occluded venous bypass grafts at presentation, while a minority (7.8%; n=40) had significantly narrowed or occluded arterial grafts. CV risk profiles were similar in both groups. However, arterial graft disease occurred earlier after CABG and more likely presented as NSTEMI rather than UA compared to the SVG group. In 54.7% (n=279) primary PCI of the saphenous graft, and in 13.5% (n=69) of the native coronary arteries was performed, while 6.5% (n=33) underwent redo CABG and 25.3% (n=129) received medical treatment only. MACE at 1 year occurred in 12.2% (n=62) with repeated revascularization as the most common event (7.2%; n=37) followed by cardiac death (2.4%; n=12), MI (1.2%; n=6), cerebrovascular infarction (1.2%; n=6) and major bleeding (0.2%; n=1). Hypertensive and obese patients, those with myocardial infarction or an ACS before discharge or during the first year after CABG had higher MACCE. In patients undergoing pPCI the rate of cardiac death and MI at 1 year was lower with an intervention in the native coronary arteries and with redo CABG compared to pPCI of bypass grafts. CONCLUSION Thus, patients with ACS and prior CABG typically present as UA and much less frequently as NSTEMI-ACS and particularly STEMI. Most events occur after one year, particularly with SVG. The 1 year MACCE rate is comparable to those with native coronary artery ACS. Hypertensive and obese patients, those with MI or with an ACS before discharge had higher MACCE rates.

Abstract
Patients ≥75 years old presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have complex coronary anatomy in part due to prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), calcific and valvular disease. Using the National Readmission Database from January 2016 to November 2017, we identified hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction in patients ≥75 years old and divided them based on a history of CABG. We evaluated in-hospital outcomes, 30-day mortality, 30-day readmission and predictors of PCI in cohorts. Out of a total of 296,062 patients ≥75 years old presenting with an AMI, 42,147 (14%) had history of previous CABG. Most presented with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, and those with previous CABG had higher burden of co-morbidities and were more commonly man. The in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in those with previous CABG (6.7% vs 8.8%, adjusted odds ratio, 0.88, 95% confidence interval, 0.82 to 0.94). Medical therapy was more common in those with previous CABG and 30-day readmission rates were seen more frequently in those with prior CABG. Predictors of not undergoing PCI included previous PCI, female, older ager groups, heart failure, dementia, malignancy, and higher number of co-morbidities. In conclusion, in patients ≥75 years old with AMI the presence of prior CABG was associated with lower odds of in-hospital and 30-day mortality, as well as lower complications rates, and a decreased use of invasive strategies (PCI, CABG, and MCS). However, 30-day MACE readmission was higher in those with previous CABG.

Abstract
Background The likelihood of undergoing reoperative coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is important for older patients who are considering first‐time CABG. Trends in the reoperative CABG for these patients are unknown. Methods and Results We used the Medicare fee‐for‐service inpatient claims data of adults undergoing isolated first‐time CABG between 1998 and 2017. The primary outcome was time to first reoperative CABG within 5 years of discharge from the index surgery, treating death as a competing risk. We fitted a Cox regression to model the likelihood of reoperative CABG as a function of patient baseline characteristics. There were 1 666 875 unique patients undergoing first‐time isolated CABG and surviving to hospital discharge. The median (interquartile range) age of patients did not change significantly over time (from 74 [69–78] in 1998 to 73 [69–78] in 2017); the proportion of women decreased from 34.8% to 26.1%. The 5‐year rate of reoperative CABG declined from 0.77% (95% CI, 0.72%–0.82%) in 1998 to 0.23% (95% CI, 0.19%–0.28%) in 2013. The annual proportional decline in the 5‐year rate of reoperative CABG overall was 6.6% (95% CI, 6.0%–7.1%) nationwide, which did not differ across subgroups, except the non‐white non‐black race group that had an annual decline of 8.5% (95% CI, 6.2%–10.7%). Conclusions Over a recent 20‐year period, the Medicare fee‐for‐service patients experienced a significant decline in the rate of reoperative CABG. In this cohort of older adults, the rate of declining differed across demographic subgroups.

Abstract
An estimated 400,000 coronary artery bypass graft operations are performed annually in the United States. Saphenous vein grafts are the most commonly used conduits; however, graft failure is common. In contrast, left internal mammary artery grafts have more favorable long-term patency rates. Guidelines recommend aggressive secondary prevention. In the 2 decades following surgery, 16% of patients require repeat revascularization, and percutaneous coronary intervention accounts for 98% of procedures performed. Post-coronary artery bypass graft patients presenting with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome or progressive heart failure should undergo early coronary angiography given the high likelihood that such a presentation represents graft failure. Percutaneous coronary intervention in degenerated saphenous vein grafts is associated with embolization that may cause the "no-reflow phenomenon," which can be avoided with the use of embolic protection devices. Hybrid revascularization procedures are a promising emerging strategy to avoid the placement of vein grafts.

Abstract
Objectives The target of this study was to explore the coronary angiography characteristics for symptomatic patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods Between 2009 and 2017, 993 patients who had undergone CABG but subsequently suffered recurrent symptoms in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were selected for this study and divided into either medical therapy (MT) group (n = 351) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) group (n = 642) based on the treatment. Clinical data were analyzed between two groups. Results Patients in the MT group were older and more likely to have chronic lung disease (6.6% vs 3.4%, P=0.026) while patients in the PCI group were more likely to have prior MI (8.8% vs 17.0%, P < 0.001). In the MT group, 54.4% of patients had newly developed lesions both in the graft and native coronary artery while 58.1% in the PCI group (P=0.003), and in the MT group, 80.6% had type C coronary artery disease while 60.1% in the PCI group (P < 0.001). Patients in the MT group presented higher proportion of diffuse lesions (49.3% vs 15.0%, P < 0.001) in native coronary arteries. Conclusion Patients receiving MT (35.3%) likely had occluded grafts and type C coronary artery disease featuring as diffuse lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the longitudinal impact of surgical ablation (SA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remain limited. This study examined 2-year risk-adjusted mortality and total hospital costs in Medicare beneficiaries with AF requiring CABG with or without SA. METHODS CABG was performed in 3745 Medicare beneficiaries with AF in 2013, with concomitant SA in 17% (626 of 3745). Risk-adjusted mortality, morbidity, and cost during the first 2 postoperative years for patients with SA and those without SA were compared. A piecewise Cox proportional hazard model (0-90 days and 91-729 days) was used to risk-adjust mortality. RESULTS Compared with the no SA group, the SA group had lower rates of heart failure before surgery (31% vs 36%), chronic lung disease (27% vs 33%), renal failure (4% vs 7%), and urgent or emergent presentation (34% vs 49%) (all P < .05). Risk-adjusted index admission costs were higher with SA (rate ratio [RR], 1.11; P < .01), as were readmissions for AF (hazard ratio [HR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.29; P = .04) and pacemaker/defibrillator implantation (HR, 1.37; 95%, 1.08-1.74; P = .01). Risk-adjusted inpatient days and inpatient costs were similar after 2 years (RR, 0.97; P = .31 and RR = 1.04; P = .17, respectively); however, the risk-adjusted hazard for late mortality (91-729 days) was significantly lower with SA (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.52-0.97; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS In patients with AF requiring CABG, SA was associated with a 29% lower risk-adjusted hazard for late mortality. Index hospital costs were higher with SA, but total inpatient costs were not different in the 2 groups after 2 years. SA appears to be a cost-effective intervention to enhance late 2-year survival in patients with AF undergoing CABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess long-term survival with repeat coronary artery bypass grafting (RCABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with previous CABG. METHODS From January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2013, 1612 Mayo Clinic patients underwent RCABG (n=215) or PCI (n=1397) after previous CABG. The RCABG cohort was grouped by use of saphenous vein grafts only (n=75), or with additional arterial grafts (n=140); the PCI cohort by, bare metal stents (BMS; n=628), or drug-eluting stents (DES; n=769), and by the treated target into native coronary artery (n=943), bypass grafts only (n=338), or both (n=116). Multivariable regression and propensity score analysis (n=280 matched patients) were used. RESULTS In multivariable analysis, the 30-day mortality was increased in RCABG versus PCI patients (hazard ratio [HR], 5.32; 95%CI, 2.34-12.08; P<.001), but overall survival after 30 days improved with RCABG (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.55-0.94; P=.01). Internal mammary arteries were used in 61% (129 of 215) of previous CABG patients and improved survival (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.69-0.98; P=.03). Patients treated with drug-eluting stent had better 10-year survival (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.59-0.91; P=.001) than those with bare metal stent alone. In matched patients, RCABG had improved late survival over PCI: 48% vs 33% (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.35-0.91; P=.02). Compared with RCABG, patients with PCI involving bypass grafts (n=60) had increased late mortality (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.10-2.37; P=.01), whereas those having PCI of native coronary arteries (n=80) did not (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.75-1.59; P=.65). CONCLUSION RCABG is associated with improved long-term survival after previous CABG, especially compared with PCI involving bypass grafts.

Abstract
Purpose Redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be one of the most technically challenging operations in cardiac surgery. The coronary disease is more advanced, and the coronary targets may be suboptimal. In addition, the patients are typically older and sicker compared to those undergoing primary CABG. Methods A literature review focused on the epidemiology, operative techniques, and outcomes associated with redo CABG. Results The frequency of redo CABG relative to total CABG procedures has been decreasing over time. From 2000 to 2009, redo CABG decreased from 6.0 to 3.4% of all CABG procedures reported to the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS ACSD) and currently stands at 2%. Risks associated with reoperations include diabetes and renal dialysis. Perioperative mortality for redo CABG is reported to be as high as three times that of primary CABG, but this risk is reduced with experience. Careful preoperative planning including quality imaging and precise surgical technique coupled with meticulous myocardial protection contributes to good outcomes. Experience is important in optimizing outcomes. Conclusions Redo CABG is a complicated operation and surgical experience, and appropriate perioperative strategies are essential for achieving optimal outcomes.

Repeat Revascularization After Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Is It a Problem? INNOVATIONS-TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNIQUES IN CARDIOTHORACIC AND VASCULAR SURGERY 2018; 12:269-274.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) via a small left thoracotomy is a novel technique for coronary revascularization that is increasingly used around the world. However, multivessel MICS CABG is difficult, and concerns about repeat revascularization (RR) have been raised. This longitudinal study describes the rates of RR among patients who have undergone MICS CABG and identifies targets for improvement. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed on the 306 MICS CABG patients operated on by a single surgeon from 2005 to 2015. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting was performed through a small left thoracotomy, using the in situ left internal mammary artery, ± a radial artery, and 1 to 3 saphenous veins anastomosed proximally to the aorta. Patients were followed annually. We examined the difference between the first half and second half of the series to ascertain the effects of a learning curve. RESULTS Eighty percent of the procedures were performed off-pump. The median number of grafts performed were 2, and the left anterior descending, diagonals, obtuse marginals, and posterior interventricular artery were the distal targets in 94%, 12%, 44%, and 26%, respectively. The graftability index (#grafts/#diseased vessels) was 0.93. Revascularization of targets smaller than 1.5 mm decreased from 69% to 50% (P = 0.002) between the series' first and second halves. Overall, RR was needed in 21 patients (6.9%) and was performed at a mean ± SD of 1.7 ± 1.6 years postoperatively. The culprit lesion was attributed to the index surgical procedure ("graft-associated") in 52%, to a stent stenosis or progression of native disease in 43%, and was unidentified in 5%. Patients with graft-associated RR had a lower graftability index at operation (0.73 vs 0.94) and more frequent involvement of the circumflex system (0.8 vs 0.3). The overall rate of RR at 3 years decreased from 11% in the first half to 2.6% in the second half (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The need for RR is part of the learning curve with MICS CABG, involves a graft in half of the cases, is more common in patients who had a lower graftability index at operation, and markedly improves with experience.

Abstract
A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of chest pain in a pre-shock condition. He underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 25 years prior. The most recent coronary angiography revealed total occlusion of both native coronaries and the saphenous vein graft (SVG) that was anastomosed to the right coronary artery. Emergency coronary angiography revealed that his SVG anastomosed to the left circumflex artery (LCX) and the distal left anterior descending artery (LAD) were also occluded. Emergency revascularization of the SVG anastomosed to the LCX and distal LAD restored blood flow and hemodynamic function. Subsequently, he received reoperative CABG to the LCX and LAD, and his angina and chronic heart failure improved. Careful follow-up is needed in patients having an old and deteriorated SVG. .

Abstract
Background: Elderly patients with unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) have better outcomes with coronary revascularization than conservative treatment. With the improvement in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques using drug eluting-stents, this became an attractive option in elderly. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) is a safe and effective alternative to conventional CABG. We aimed to explore the long-term outcomes after PCI vs MICS-CABG in ≥75 year-old patients with severe CAD. Methods: A total of 1454 elderly patients (≥75 year-old patients) underwent coronary artery revascularization between January 2005 and December 2009. Patients were selected in the study if they have one of the Class-I indications for CABG. Groups were divided according to the type of procedure, PCI or MICS-CABG, and 5 year follow-up.
Results: Among 175 elderly patients, 109 underwent PCI and 66 had MICS-CABG. There was no significant difference observed in both groups with long-term all-cause mortality (31 PCI vs 21% MICS-CABG, p=0.151) and the overall 5 year survival was similar on Kaplan-Meier curve (Log rank p=0.318). The average length of stay in hospital was significantly shorter in the PCI than in the MICS-CABG group (4.3 vs 7.8 days, p<0.001). Only 4.7% of the PCI group were discharged to rehabilitation facility compared with 43.9% of the MICS-CABG group (p<0.001). The rate of repeat revascularization was significantly higher in the PCI group than in the MICS-CABG group (15 vs 3%, p=0.014).
Conclusion: Among elderly patients, long-term all-cause mortality is similar after PCI and MICS-CABG. However, there is a significantly higher rate of repeat revascularization after PCI.

The role of angioplasty in patients with acute coronary syndrome and previous coronary artery bypass grafting. Int J Cardiol 2014; 176:760-3.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Angioplasty has changed the management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, in patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the role of angioplasty in the management of ACS is widely debated. Lack of clear guidelines leads to subjective and often stereotypical assessments based on clinician preferences. We sought to investigate if angioplasty affected all cause mortality in ACS patients with previous CABG. METHODS Completely anonymous information on patients with ACS with a background of previous CABG, co-morbidities and procedures attending three multi-ethnic general hospitals in the North West of England, United Kingdom in the period 2000-2012 was traced using the ACALM (Algorithm for Comorbidities, Associations, Length of stay and Mortality) study protocol using ICD-10 and OPCS-4 coding systems. Predictors of mortality and survival analyses were performed using SPSS version 20.0. RESULTS Out of 12,227 patients with ACS, there were 1172 (19.0%) cases of ACS in patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting. Of these 83 (7.1%) patients underwent angioplasty. Multi-nominal logistic regression, accounting for differences in age and co-morbidities, revealed that having angioplasty conferred a 7.96 times improvement in mortality (2.36-26.83 95% CI) compared to not having angioplasty in this patient group. CONCLUSIONS We have shown that angioplasty confers significantly improved all cause mortality in the management of ACS in patients with previous CABG. The findings of this study highlight the need for clinicians to conscientiously think about the individual benefits and risks of angioplasty for every patient rather than confining to age related stereotypes.
