Purpose: To describe the mechanisms of hemodynamic changes during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OP-CABG).
Source: Pertinent medical literature in the English and French languages was identified through a Medline computerized literature search and a manual search of selected articles, using off-pump coronary artery surgery, beating heart surgery, hemodynamic, and transesophageal echocardiography as key words. Human and animal studies were included.
Principal finding: Hemodynamic variations in OP-CABG may be due to mobilization and stabilization of the heart, or myocardial ischemia occurring during coronary occlusion. Suction type and compression type stabilizers produce hemodynamic effects through different mechanisms. Heart dislocation (90° anterior displacement) and compression of the right ventricle to a greater extent than the left ventricle are responsible for hemodynamic alterations when using suction type stabilizers. Compression of the left ventricular outflow tract and abnormal diastolic expansion secondary to direct deformation of the left ventricular geometry are proposed mechanisms for hemodynamic derangements with compression type stabilizer. Coronary occlusion during the anastomosis can have additional effects on left ventricular function, depending on the status of collateral flow. The value and limitations of electrocardiographic (ECG), hemodynamic and echocardiographic monitoring modalities during OP-CABG are reviewed.
Conclusions: In summary, hemodynamic changes which can either be secondary to the stabilization technique or to transient ischemia represent an important diagnostic challenge during off-bypass procedures. The mechanism can vary according to the stabilization system. Current monitoring such as ECG and hemodynamic monitoring are used but remain limited in establishing the cause of hemodynamic instability. Transesophageal echocardiography is used in selected patients to diagnose the etiology of hemodynamic instability and can direct therapy, particularly in those with severe myocardial systolic and diastolic dysfunction, mild to moderate mitral regurgitation, or for patients who are unstable during the procedure.
