RESUMEN
Most patients with diffuse coronary disease require endarterectomy for revascularization. In view of the high morbidity and mortality associated with coronary endarterectomy, patch angioplasty and reconstruction of the coronary artery was developed. We retrospectively evaluated 104 patients who underwent mammary artery patch angioplasty of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The procedure consisted of laying open the entire diseased segment of the coronary artery and patching it with an in-situ left internal mammary artery onlay patch, without endarterectomy, in an off-pump procedure. One (0.9%) patient died, 2 (1.8%) suffered perioperative myocardial infarction, and an intraaortic balloon pump was used in 2. The mean blood loss was 224 mL. Intensive care unit stay was 2.5 days, and hospital stay was 7.8 days. At 1-year follow-up, most patients were in New York Heart Association functional class I. Follow-up angiography was carried out in 16 patients and showed good patency of all anastomoses. Arterial patch reconstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery can be performed safely and effectively in an off-pump procedure, with excellent early and intermediate results.

Surgery for diffuse coronary artery disease requires coronary reconstruction with or without endarterectomy. Considering the immediate and late postoperative problems of coronary endarterectomy, many surgeons now prefer coronary reconstruction without endarterectomy. Patch reconstruction of the diseased coronary artery with either the internal mammary artery or another conduit is an attractive option. This article describes the technique of long mammary patch reconstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery without endarterectomy as an off-pump procedure.

SUMMARY: : Suprahepatic inferior vena caval (IVC) injuries are rare but carry nearly a 100% mortality rate. The main problem with its surgical management is the technical difficulty in draining the IVC during cardiopulmonary bypass. In this report, an efficient method of IVC drainage for repair of the IVC on cardiopulmonary bypass is described.
