Off Pump and On PumpCoronary AnastomosisTechnical Considerations
technically coronary anastomoses are the same whether it’s on or off pump the same Do’s and Dont’s apply
deep pericardial sutures • lift and rotate anterior wall into the operative field • aids ‘verticalisation’ (for access to the posterior and inferior circulation)
stabilisation suction Octopus 2 plus LP
“secondary” stabilisation Starfish 2 heart positioner
Starfish 2 Octopus 4 stabiliser heart positioners Urchin
CO2 mist blower • clears “bloody” field • intracoronary shunts • ‘bloodless’ field
intracoronary shunts • ‘bloodless’ field • continued distal perfusion (“myocardial protection”) • crucial for RCA
patient position • trendelenburg with rotation to the right • to reduce haemodynamc impairment(due to right sided compromise) • to improve access and visualisation(to the posterior /inferior circulation)
maintain temperature ~36°C • adequate room temperature • lower body “Bair Hugger”
cell saver • useful but not always required
