Presented at the Seventh Annual Cardiothoracic Techniques and Technologies Meeting 2001, New Orleans, LA, Jan 24–27, 2001.

Background. There is concern that a hypercoagulable status is caused after coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, or OPCAB) and may potentially endanger the patency of the anastomosis. The aims of this study were: (1) to compare 1-year graft patency after OPCAB with that of conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and that of on-pump beating CABG; and (2) to demonstrate any differences in patency of various conduits among the three groups.

Methods. We analyzed the results of 122 consecutive OPCAB cases (group I) compared with those of 65 consecutive conventional CABG cases (group II) and those of 19 consecutive on-pump beating CABG cases (group III). In group I, coronary angiography (CAG) was performed immediately postoperatively and 1 year after surgery. In groups II and III, CAG was performed 1 year after surgery. Graft patency was graded as grade A (excellent), grade B (fair), or grade O (occluded).

Results. The average number of distal anastomoses in groups I, II, and III were 3.1 ± 1.1, 3.7 ± 0.9, and 3.6 ± 0.9, respectively. In group I, postoperative CAG was performed in 92% of patients (112/122) before discharge. The patency rate (grade A + B) was 96.4% (162/168) for arterial grafts, and 85.6% (160/187) for saphenous vein grafts (SVG). One-year follow-up CAG was performed in 74% of patients (90/122). The patency rate was 97.8% (132/135) for arterial grafts and 67.9% (106/156) for SVG. In group II, 1-year follow-up CAG was performed in 65% of patients (42/65). The patency rate (grade A + B) was 93.5% (43/46) for arterial grafts and 88.3% (98/111) for SVG. In group III, 1-year follow-up CAG was performed in 89% of patients (17/19). The patency rate (grade A + B) was 100% (19/19) for arterial grafts and 86.8% (33/38) for SVG.

Conclusions. Our results demonstrate that the patency rate of SVG after OPCAB was significantly lower than that of arterial grafts in the early postoperative CAG (p < 0.001), and was also significantly lower than those of SVG of group II (p < 0.001) and group III (p < 0.01) in the postoperative 1-year CAG, although there was no significant difference in 1-year patency of arterial grafts among the three groups. Our data suggest that a specific perioperative anticoagulant therapy may be advisable in patients undergoing OPCAB with SVG.
