Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery is fundamentally different as compared to open sternal approach under cardiopulmonary bypass. Modifications of the surgical, anesthesiologic and post-operative techniques are necessary before evaluation of its real benefit. We analyze the potential effect of a learning period on the short term results of this technique.From July 1997 to February 1999, 20 patients were operated using this method. We compare the results of the first 10 patients (group 1: 8M/2F, 59.6 +/- 13.8 years) to those of the last 10 patients (group 2: 8M/2F; age = 63.2 +/- 6.1 years).Progress between the two groups is striking. Left anterior descending coronary clamping time could be reduced from 28.5 +/- 2.4 min. in group 1 to 22.2 +/- 1.8 min. in group 2 (p0.05), and operative time was reduced from 125 +/- 4 min. to 97 +/- 5 min. (p0.005). The post-operative atrial fibrillation rate diminished from 4/10 in group 1 to 1/10 in group 2.3/10 patients in group 1 suffered a post-operative pneumonia whereas none in group 2 had pulmonary complication. The stay in the intensive care unit could be reduced from 2.3 +/- 0.3 days to 1.4 +/- 0.2 days (p0.05) and the total post-operative stay diminished from 8.5 +/- 0.9 days to 4.7 +/- 0.5 days (p0.005).There are evidence for a learning period in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Short term benefits of this technique are then evident as demonstrated by a reduction in the ICU stay and the hospital stay. |
