[Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using donut and SPY].
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) has been rapidly increased, because of its less invasiveness with low complications. However, graft patency rate highly depends on operators' capability due to technical difficulties. In this article, detail operative procedures are introduced to perform OPCAB in 100% for isolated coronary patients. Selecting better stabilizer may be a key of success. Donut Heart Stabilizer can make a still and stable operative field to anastomose less than 1 mm coronary artery. It is very useful to achieve complete revascularization for all stenosed coronary branches. OPCAB with 9 arterial grafts could be done using Donut. SPY Intra-operative Imaging System is also important to get 100% patency rate of the grafts. Using SPY, we can avoid graft trouble during operation in operation room (OR). SPY image is the best key information for operators to decide revision of the failed grafting. Donut 2 Heart Stabilizer has been improved to make more wide and stable operative field. Donut and SPY is the best combination for OPCAB.
