Coronary endarterectomy (CE) emerged as a necessity to achieve complete surgical myocardial revascularization in patients with diffusely diseased coronary arteries and it also serves as aid to coronary bypass grafting (CABG). The safety and postoperative prognosis of this procedure are still matters of debate. There are no clear preoperative indications, a standard technique has not yet been established as gold standard and the postoperative management differs depending on each institution. CE of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is technically challenging and potentially hazardous with high risk of postoperative myocardial infarction. In this article, we describe the open technique for CE of the LAD with its specific details, which we believe could be the safest and the best reproductible option. To better understand the profile of a patient requiring such a procedure we present the case of a 73-years old male with diffused coronary artery disease (CAD) and a short review of literature. |
