<p><b>Objective:</b> Surgical management of ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) has primarily consisted of revascularization with or without the addition of mitral valve repair or replacement. We hypothesize that performing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting before fixing MR improves in-hospital outcomes for patients with IMR undergoing surgery.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> From January 2000 through December 2010, a total of 96 consecutive patients with moderate or severe IMR, as determined by preoperative echocardiography, underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n = 66) or OPCAB (n = 30) revascularization with concomitant mitral valve repair or replacement. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cardiac surgery database (PATS; Dendrite Clinical Systems, Oxford, UK) was performed. In addition, medical notes and charts were reviewed for all study patients.</p><p><b>Results:</b> The 2 groups had similar preoperative demographic and EuroSCORE risk-stratification characteristics. The operative mortality rate for the entire cohort was 9.4%. Patients who underwent OPCAB grafting had a lower operative mortality than those who underwent CABG (3.3% versus 12.1%; <i>P</i> = .006). The mean �SD cardiopulmonary bypass time (82.7 � 34.7 minutes versus 160.7 � 45.2 minutes; <i>P</i> < .001) and cross-clamp time (49.0 � 22.4 minutes versus 103.4 � 39.5 minutes; <i>P</i> < .001) were significantly shorter in the off-pump group than in the on-pump group. The OPCAB group also had significantly less in-hospital morbidity and shorter stays in the intensive care unit and the hospital.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Our analysis shows that OPCAB grafting (compared with conventional CABG) before repairing MR is associated with favorable in-hospital outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for IMR.</p>

The beneficial effects of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) in coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass have been reported. However, whether preoperative insertion of IABP in high-risk off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) has any beneficial effects remains to be established. We report our experience of preoperative insertion of IABP in OPCAB.

A 55-year-old man developed severe mitral regurgitation with persistent fungal infective endocarditis 8 months after coronary artery bypass grafting with a left internal mammary artery and 2 saphenous veins, as well as mitral valve repair with a prosthetic ring. Echocardiography demonstrated severe mitral regurgitation and a valvular vegetation. Computed tomography coronary arteriography indicated that all grafts were patent and located intimately close to the sternum. Median resternotomy was not attempted due to the risk of injury to the bypass grafts, and therefore, a right anterolateral thoracotomy approach was utilized. Mitral valve replacement was performed with the patient under deep hypothermia and ventricular fibrillation without aortic cross-clamping. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful. Thus, right anterolateral thoracotomy may be a superior approach to mitral valve surgery in patients who have undergone prior coronary artery bypass grafting.
