Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effect of different methods of the great saphenous vein harvesting on the outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods

This study was a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of patients who underwent CABG in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Heart Center of Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from March 2019 to April 2020 were collected retrospectively, such as age, gender, complications, etc. The patients were divided into two groups according to the way of obtaining the great saphenous vein: endoscopic group (obtaining the great saphenous vein through endoscope) and conventional group (traditional open access to the great saphenous vein). The operation time, number of CABG intraoperative flow of great saphenous vein graft, pulsatility index (PI), postoperative renal function impairment, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative stay in intensive care unit (ICU), lower extremity incision complications and graft patency rate, recurrent angina, myocardial infarction with follow-up time of [12-18] months were compared between the two groups.

Results

A total of 132 cases were collected with age (63.64±6.78) years old, 94 males (71.21%, 94/132) , including 58 in endoscopic group and 74 in conventional group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, complications and other baseline data(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in terms of operation time [(355.50±75.92) min vs. (346.55±68.74) min, P=0.480], number of coronary artery bypass grafts [2.00(2.00,2.00) vs. 2.00(2.00,2.25), P=0.677], intraoperative flow of great saphenous vein graft [79.00(52.50,115.50) ml vs. 69.50(46.75,100.50) ml, P=0.196], pulsatility index (PI) of saphenous vein graft [1.55(1.38,2.20) vs. 1.60 (1.30,1.90), P=0.910], rate of renal function impairment (37.93% vs. 24.32%, P=0.091), postoperative hospital stay [10.00(8.00,15.25) d vs. 11.00(9.00,14.25) d, P=0.512] and postoperative stay in ICU[66.13(44.17,98.21) h vs. 66.38(43.81,95.46) h, P=0.757], between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference with respect to the patency rate of graft (87.7% vs. 87.9% P=0.938), incidence of recurrent angina (10.34% vs. 10.81%, P=0.931), and myocardial infarction (10.34% vs. 6.76% P=0.534) in either group, no cases of death, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or secondary CABG with follow-up time of [12-18] months. Lower extremity incision complications were lower in the endoscopic group than that in the conventional group [5.17%(12/74) vs. 16.22%(3/58)] with the difference statistically significant (P=0.047).

Conclusion

There was no difference in the effect of the mode of saphenous vein harvesting on the outcome of CABG, but endoscopic techniques can reduce the complication rate of lower extremity incisions.
