Abstract
- It is difficult to perform Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting(OPCAB) for the posterior vessels in patients with cardiomegaly and left ventricular dysfunction due to hemodynamic instability and poor exposure. Right heart supported OPCAB may facilitate posterior vessel approach during OPCAB in those patients, in addition to those advantages of avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cannulation. We experienced 2 cases of right heart supported OPCAB for those patients with cardiomegaly and left ventricle dysfunction.
