Abstract

Background: Adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass can be avoided by 'Off-pump' coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery. Recent studies have reported that OPCAB had the most beneficial impact on patients at highest risk by reducing bypass-related complications. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcome of OPCAB and conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CCAB) in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function. Material and Method: From March 1997 to February 2004, seventy five patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of $35\%$ or less underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting at our institute. Of these patients, 33 patients underwent OPCAB and 42 underwent CCAB. Preoperative risk factors, operative and postoperative outcomes, including LV functional change, were compared and analysed. Result: Patients undergoing CCAB were more likely to have unstable angina, three vessel disease and acute myocardial infarction among the preoperative factors. OPCAB group had significantly lower mean operation time, less numbers of total distal anastomoses per patient and less numbers of distal anastomoses per patient in the circumflex territory than the CCAB group. There was no difference between the groups in regard to in-hospital mortality $(OPCAB\; 9.1\%\;(n=3)\;Vs.\;CCAB\;9.5\%\;(n=4)),$ intubation time, the length of stay in intensive care unit and in hospital postoperatively. Postoperative complication occurred more in CCAB group but did not show statistical difference. On follow-up echocardiography, OPCAB group showed $9.1\%$ improvement in mean LVEF, 4.3 mm decrease in mean left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and 4.2 mm decrease in mean left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD). CCAB group showed $11.0\%$ improvement in mean LVEF, 5.1 mm decrease in mean LVEDD and 5.5 mm decrease in mean LVESD. But there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: This study showed that LV function improves postoperatively in patients with severe ischemic LV dysfunction, but failed to show any difference in the degree of improvement between OPCAB and CCAB. In terms of operative mortality rate and LV functional recovery, the results of OPCAB were as good as those of CCAB in patients with poor LV function. But, OPCAB procedure was advantageous in shortening of operative time and in decrease of complications. We recommend OPCAB as the first surgical option for patients with severe LV dysfunction.

배경: 심폐바이패스 없이 시행하는 관상동맥우회술("Off-pump" Coronary Artery Bypass grafting, OPCAB)은 체외순환의 부작용을 피할 수 있는 이점이 있으며 합병증 발생을 감소시킴으로써 특히 고 위험군 환자에서 유리한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 심한 허혈성 좌심실 기능부전 환자들에서 관상동맥우회슬시 체외순환 유무에 따른 수술 성적을 비교하였으며 좌심실 기능의 회복정도를 비교분석 하였다. 대상 및 방법 1997년 3월부터 2004년 2월까지 본원에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행 받은 환자들 중 술 전 좌심실 박출계수(Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, LVEF)가$ 35\%$ 이하이고, 관상동맥우회술만을 단독으로 시행한 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 대상 환자는 전체 75명으로 OPCAB을 시행한 경우가 33명$(mean\;LVEF\;=\;28.3\%),$ 전통적인 관상동맥우회술(Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass grafting, CCAB)을 시행한 경우가 42명$(mean\;LVEF\;=\;27.6\%)$으로 수술 전 위험인자 및 수술성적을 비교하였고 수술 후 가장 최근에 시행한 심초음파 검사 결과를 이용하여 두 군간의 좌심실 기능변화 정도를 비교하였다. 결과: 수술 전 위험요인 중 CCAB군에서 불안정성 협심증, 삼혈관 질환, 급성 심근경색이 많았으며 그 외 술 전 인자는 두 군 간 차이를 보이지 않았다 OPCAB군에서 수술시간이 통계적으로 유의하게 짧았으며, 원위부 문합수, 좌회선동맥 분지의 문합수는 CCAB군에서 유의하게 많았다. 수술 사망률$(OPCAB\; 9.1\%\;(n=3)\;Vs\;CCAB\;9.5\%\;(n=4)),$ 호흡기 사용일수, 중환자실 체류일수 및 재원기간은 차이가 없었다. 수술 후 합병증 발생률은 통계적 의미는 없었으나 CCAB군에서 더 많이 발생하는 양상이었다. 술 후 평균 16개월에 시행한 심초음파 검사에서 OPCAB군은 LVEF가 평균 $9.1\%$ 향상되었고 좌심실 확장기말 치수(LVEDD)는 4.3mm, 좌심실 수축기말 치수(LVESD)는 4.2mm 감소하였으며, CCAB군은 LVEF가 $11.0\%$ 향상되었고, LVEDD는 5.1mm, LVESD는 5.5mm 감소하였다. 그러나 두 군간의 차이에는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 결론: 심한 허혈성 좌심실 기능부전 환자에서 관상 동맥우회술이 수술 후 좌심실 기능을 향상시켜주는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 체외순환 여부에 따른 좌심실 기능의 회복정도에는 차이가 얼었다. OPCAB은 심한 좌심실 기능저하가 있는 환자에서 수술 사망률 및 술 후 좌심실 기능 회복 측면에서 CCAB에 대등한 결과를 보였으며, 수술시간이 단축되는 장점과 합병증 발생이 감소되는 경향을 고려할 때 CCAB보다 우월하므로 좌심실 기능이 심하게 저하된 환자 수술 시 먼저 시도해 보아야 할 것이다.
