The goal is a dry operative field while maximizing myocardial recovery. Prospective randomized clinical trials have historically been difficult to achieve because of confounding variables such as solution used, route of administration, temperature, and so forth. This chapter describes an ‘integrated method’ of cardioplegia, so named because it combines many of the salient feature of various methods. It is designed to provide the maximum metabolic support of the myocardium during each phase of the operation. A vast literature from the laboratory to the bedside supports its use. Perhaps most importantly, integrated cardioplegia provides excellent protection of the septum and avoids paradoxical septal motion that may be a form of myocardial injury which is common with other methods of myocardial protection. Any future evaluation of cardioplegia methods should include not only survival but enzyme release and echocardiographic measurements of septal function.","PeriodicalId":199690,"journal":{"name":"State of the Art Surgical Coronary Revascularization","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117193193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early graft patency rate is high and the late patency rate is excellent when the RGEA is harvested by the skeletonized technique and deployed to target coronary arteries with severe stenosis (>90%). Abdominal complications are rare since only a small laparotomy is required. Late graft disease is uncommon in the RGEA conduit. At repeat coronary artery bypass graft surgery involving solely the right coronary artery territory, a small laparotomy approach using the RGEA can be performed with an off-pump technique without sternotomy. The RGEA conduit also can be used as a free or composite graft if the RGEA had low free flow, or if intraoperative flow measurement suggested a competitive flow pattern.","PeriodicalId":199690,"journal":{"name":"State of the Art Surgical Coronary Revascularization","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128631530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
