This new surgical modality of coronary revascularization combines the minimal invasive nature of off-pump coronary bypass surgery with epidural anesthesia avoiding endotracheal intubation and mechanic ventilation to extend also the limits of coronary surgery where patients are deemed unfit for conventional surgery or general anesthesia.

Off pump coronary artery bypass grafting in awake patient

A 60-year-old male patient was admitted into the department as a diagnosed case of ischemic heart disease and his coronary angiogram reveals triple vessel disease, and the patient was suffering from chest pain for last 3 months.

Isolated Aortic Root Aneurysms

An extensive aortic root replacement technique is the only option to rebuild the left ventricular outflow tract due to the reconstruction of the neo aortoventricular continuity in the aortIC root abscess.

Coronary artery bypass grafting through complete sternotomy in conscious patients.

The data presented show the feasibility and safety of complete surgical revascularization via median sternotomy using arterial grafts without general anesthesia, and this approach shortens recovery time and increases patient comfort, suggesting that outpatient cardiac surgery may eventually be possible.

High thoracic epidural anesthesia as the sole anesthetic for performing multiple grafts in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Experience confirms the feasibility of performing multiple coronary artery bypasses in conscious patients without endotracheal general anesthesia in patients undergoing beating heart coronary revascularization avoiding general anesthesia.

Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia for Coronary Bypass Surgery Affects Autonomic Neural Function and Arrhythmias

Because there is no vagal inhibition, vagal dominance can be maintained after surgery in AOCAB, and this may be associated with the lower incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in group A compared with group B.

High thoracic epidural anesthesia for coronary artery bypass grafting using two different surgical approaches in conscious patients.

It is demonstrated that the sole use of TEA for MIDCAB and OPCAB procedures was feasible and provided a high degree of patient satisfaction in small and highly selected cohorts.

Awake subxyphoid minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting yielded minimum invasive cardiac surgery for high risk patients.

Awake subxiphoid approach has the advantages that both thoracotomy and sternotomy can be avoided thus permitting surgery with extremely low invasiveness, and is recommended for patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction.

Combined TEA and femoral block is a novel anaesthetic technique, and is feasible, for cardiac surgery, however, certain technical limitations need to be overcome to evaluate the full potential of 'awake' cardiac surgery.
