Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), or
simply beating-heart coronary artery bypass grafting, utilizes a medial
sternotomy to access the heart, similarly to on-pump coronary artery bypass
(ONCAB) procedures. The important difference is that the cardiopulmonary bypass
pump is not employed. Clinical studies show that OPCAB offers several benefits
compared to ONCAB procedures, including reductions in bleeding, decreases in
short-term neurocognitive dysfunction, kidney dysfunction and length of
hospital stay.
Despite these advantages, the inherent
technical challenges of performing OPCAB have impeded its widespread adoption.
These off-pump procedures require special techniques and instrumentation in
order to perform efficient and reliable anastomosis on the beating heart. The
increasing penetration of anastomosis assist devices (AAD) has helped to create
precise and reliable anastomoses and slow the decline in OPCAB procedure
volume.
It should be noted that all minimally
invasive coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures, including minimally
invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and totally endoscopic coronary
artery bypass (TECAB), are performed off-pump. These procedures differ from
traditional OPCAB techniques in that they do not require a highly invasive
medial sternotomy.
OPCAB procedures are much harder to perform
because the beating heart adds difficulty in performing a bypass on the
posterior and lateral walls of the heart. Surgeons have found many ways to
stabilize the heart to bypass the necessary arteries. Most commonly, stabilizer
and positioner devices are used in surgeries to aid physicians in stabilizing
and positioning the heart and arteries.
