title: [Coronary surgery without extracorporeal circulation. Indications, methods and results. Apropos of 224 cases].
abstract: Coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass is evolving as an important technique. From January 1988 to September 1997, 224 patients underwent consecutively coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass in our institution. Indications for this type of revascularization were essentially: patients with a single coronary lesion and patients which presented an increased risk for extra-corporeal circulation. Follow-up was complete. The majority of patients were men (176) and the median age was 62 years. Most patients were in CCS III and IV (79%). Unstable angina was found in 19%, 4% had a recent trans mural infarction (< or = 48 hr), and 36% had an older infarct (> 48 hr). 8% were operated in emergency, 29% presented a restenosis following angioplasty, with 4% having a complication from angioplasty, and 0.8% were operated in cardiogenic shock. Redo surgery was seen in 4% of patients. 12% of patients had an ejection fraction less than 30%, 47% an ejection fraction between 30 et 49%, and 40% patients an ejection fraction greater than 50%. Mean Parsonnet score was 10. 185 patients (82.5%) underwent single bypass, and 39 patients (17%) multiple bypasses. Ten patients (4.4%) underwent hybrid revascularization with primarily surgical grafting followed by angioplasty. Postoperative outcome included: myocardial infarction in 16 patients (7.1%), 8 patients (3.5%) were reoperated for tamponade or bleeding, 2 patients (0.8%) developed a mediastinitis, and 1 patient (0.4%) had a neurological event. Hospital mortality was 4% (9 patients). Univariate and multivariate analysis identified two risks factors: age greater than 70 (OR 4.2, CI 1-18.4), and an ejection fraction less than 30% (OR 5, CI 1.2-21.6). Survival was 99.1% at 1 year, 94% at 3 years and 83.2% at 7 years. Post operative angina occurred in 33 patients, linked to a coronary anastomosis dysfunction in 9 patients (4.1%). A significant reduction of cost was found, compared to patients operated with extra-corporeal circulation. We conclude that coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass can provide satisfactory results, for patients with single coronary lesion, or for patients with an increased risk and multiple coronary lesions.
