Abstract:

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate demographic, clinical and laboratory features and outcomes of the hybrid cases undergoing beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods: January 2011 – 2015 in the isolated beating heart coronary bypass performed (n = 54). The cases were retrospectively analyzed with demographic characteristics and used hybrid approaches. After off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB), the cases were followed for following hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD). Results: Fifty-four consecutive patients underwent elective HCR (n = 7) or OPCAB (n = 47). The cases consisting of 12 female (22.2%), 42 male (77.7%) were found. 54 cases with an average age of 62.51 years (min: 41, max: 86) (13.279 SD) have been observed. There was no any complication in HCR group. Stroke in 2 case (3.7%), hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (right internal lacunar infarct) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) in two cases (3.7%) were detected. Inpatients mortality ratio was 7.4% with multiple organ failure. Conclusion: HCR is associated with successful results. We believe that OPCAB should be preferred in selected cases with potential high risk morbidity.
