2. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_cardiac...

   OPCAB voids the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which requires the heart to be stopped (arrested) with cardioplegia solution. Off-pump is also known as beating heart surgery. [citation needed] Minimally invasive heart surgery has been used as an alternative to traditional surgery for the following procedures: Coronary artery bypass

3. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   The first uses a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, a machine which takes over the functions of the heart and lungs during surgery by circulating blood and oxygen. With the heart in cardioplegic arrest , harvested arteries and veins are used to connect across problematic regions—a construction known as surgical anastomosis .

4. Off-pump coronary artery bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Off-pump_coronary_artery_bypass

   Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), or beating-heart surgery, is a form of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed without cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine) as a treatment for coronary heart disease. It was primarily developed in the early 1990s by Dr. Amano Atsushi.

5. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a surgical treatment for coronary heart disease that is a less invasive method of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [1] MIDCAB gains surgical access to the heart with a smaller incision than other types of CABG.

6. Hybrid coronary revascularization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_coronary...

   In a study designed and published by the Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute, [6] routine intraoperative completion angiography performed in a fully functional hybrid operation room detected important defects in 97 of 796 (12% of the grafts) venous coronary artery bypass grafts in 366 adult patients (14% of the patients) with complex ...

7. Bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_surgery

   Vascular bypass surgery such as coronary artery bypass surgery, a heart operation, in which the internal thoracic artery and great saphanous vein are used to bypass the coronary artery. [2] Cardiopulmonary bypass, a technique used in coronary artery bypass surgery. In on-pump bypass surgery, a heart-lung machine is used; in off-pump bypass ...

8. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   Several arteries and veins can be used, however internal mammary artery grafts have demonstrated significantly better long-term patency rates than great saphenous vein grafts. [40] In patients with two or more coronary arteries affected, bypass surgery is associated with higher long-term survival rates compared to percutaneous interventions. [41]

9. Vessel harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_harvesting

   For patients with coronary artery disease, a vascular bypass may be recommended to reroute blood around blocked arteries to restore and improve blood flow and oxygen to the heart. To create the bypass graft , a surgeon will remove or "harvest" healthy blood vessels from another part of the body, either arteries from an arm or the chest, or ...
