Evaluation of myocardial metabolism and function during beating heart coronary surgery.
Coronary artery bypass surgery on the beating heart either via a left anterior small thoracotomy (LAST) or a median sternotomy is becoming increasing popular world-wide. Concern still remains about the potential for a temporary regional myocardial ischaemia associated with the stabilisation and occlusion of the coronary during construction of the anastomosis. This review summarises the results of a series of studies intended to evaluate the effect of beating heart coronary revascularization on myocardial function, myocardial tissue injury and clinical outcome.
