Feasibility and Safety of 2-staged Hybrid Technique for Treating Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Multi-vessel Lesions / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To assess the feasibility and safety of 2-staged hybrid technique for treating coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with multi-vessel lesions. Methods: Our research included 2 groupsHybrid group, CAD patients with left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesion or with other major epicardial vessel stenosis>70%who received 2-staged hybrid treatment in our hospital from 2012-03 to 2015-03 and Control group, CAD patients received elective conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) by the same surgeon at meanwhile. n=91 in each group. The peri-operative conditions and complications were compared between two groups. Results: Compared with Control group, Hybrid group had the shorter post-operative mechanical ventilation time (7.9 ± 4.8) h vs (21.6 ± 35.9) h, shorter ICU-stay time (29.6 ± 20.8) h vs (47.5 ± 38.3) h, all P0.05. Conclusion:2-staged hybrid technique is a safe, feasible and minimally invasive technique for treating CAD patients with LAD and multi-vessel lesions.
