Case description

Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) is a form of coronary artery bridge graft. The main difference between those two procedures is the lack of necessity for stopping the heart and for cardiopulmonary bypass pump. This method was developed to avoid the consequences of using the pump, such as postperfusion syndrome.In addition the off-pump surgery being associated with the clinical benefits of a reduced risk of stroke or memory problems. Typically, patients also have a faster recovery and shorter hospital stay, fewer blood transfusions, and fewer unwanted inflammatory/immune response issues. This particular clip presents a case of 59 years old male, who was submitted to the Cardiology department with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Angiography revealed the total occlusion of circumflex branch, and PTCA+Stenting was performed. There were also stenoses of the LAD and diagonal branches along with a subtotal occlusion of the right coronary artery. With IABP and pharmacologic inotropic support, a coronary artery bypass grafting on the beating heart procedure has been performed without extracorporeal circulation.
