Outline
Continuous Perfusion of Saphenous Vein by Oxygenated Blood during Beating Coronary Surgery
Authors
Abstract
Background: The saphenous vein remains the most commonly used conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). However, the long-term success of surgical revascularization is largely limited by development of occlusion in vein grafts.
Objectives: We sought to reduce graft ischemia by maintaining the blood flow into the harvested vein throughout surgery at lowest costs and without special devices.
Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on three hundred patients aged 58.5 ± 8 years undergoing elective first-time off-pump CABG with saphenous veins.
Results: In addition to preserving nutritional materials and oxygen, the veins harvested via this novel technique did not go into spasm and were not subjected to high-pressure distension, eventually resulting in minimal damage to the endothelium.
Conclusions: This technique confers favorable myocardial function and protection in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction, especially in elderly patients.
