Brief Summary

To verify the effectiveness and safety of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting for complete revascularization of multivessel coronary artery disease via inferior part-sternotomy, We aim to randomize 260 patients undergoing isolated Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to compare the ratios of complete revascularization between inferior part-sternotomy CABG and full median sternotomy CABG from 9 hospitals in China.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete revascularization rate immediately after surgery

    Most surgical groups have adopted the functional definition in their studies. We therefore elected to use a functional definition for complete revascularization in the present study. The coronary vascular tree was divided into 3 separate territories: the left anterior descending artery (LAD), the circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery (RCA).Functional completeness of revascularization is defined as all viable myocardial territories are reperfused, as at least one bypass graft for every diseased primary arterial territory

    Immediately after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • The harvest time of left Internal mammary artery (LIMA)

    During surgery

  • Aortic cross-clamp time

    During surgery

  • Overall operation time

    During surgery

  • Intraoperative real-time blood flow at each anastomosis

    During surgery

  • The total amount of postoperative chest tube drainage

    Up to 4 weeks

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Inferior part-sternotomy CABG

EXPERIMENTAL

A midline skin incision of 8 to 10cm in length is made over the sternum, starting from 2-3cm below the sternal angle inferiorly and extending slightly beyond the xiphoid process. A sternal saw is used to split the sternum from the xiphoid process to the second intercostal space where the sternum is partially transected by turning the saw rightward. Left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-left anterior descending branch bypass is the first choice for all patients. Remaining coronary bypassing techniques are according to clinical practice and preference of the operator. If it is difficult to perform CABG via inferior part-sternotomy, the treatment strategy convert to full median sternotomy, which is deemed to be failed to achieve complete revascularization via inferior part-sternotomy.

Procedure: Inferior part-sternotomy

Full median sternotomy CABG

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A midline skin incision is made over the sternum, starting from the sternal angle and extending slightly beyond the xiphoid process. The sternum is fully split by a sternal saw. Remaining coronary bypassing techniques are same in both groups according to clinical practice and preference of the operator.

Procedure: Full median sternotomy

Interventions

A midline skin incision of 8 to 10cm in length is made over the sternum, starting from 2-3cm below the sternal angle inferiorly and extending slightly beyond the xiphoid process. A sternal saw is used to split the sternum from the xiphoid process to the second intercostal space where the sternum is partially transected by turning the saw rightward.

Inferior part-sternotomy CABG

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who undergo primary isolated open-chest CABG with multi-vessel coronary disease(left main artery disease with right coronary artery disease,or three-vessel disease)

You may not qualify if:

  • Single vessel disease, double vessel disease, left main artery disease without right coronary artery disease.
  • Concomitant cardiac surgeries(i.e. valve repair or replacement, Maze surgery, left ventricular repair due to ventricular aneurysm).
  • Redo CABG.
  • Emergent CABG.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction(EF≤35%).
  • Severe atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta.
  • Subjects tend to choose surgical approach (via full median sternotomy/inferior part-sternotomy) .
  • Malignant tumor or other severe systemic diseases.
  • Severe renal insufficiency (i.e. creatinine \>200 μmol/L).
  • Contraindications for dual antiplatelet therapy, such as active gastroduodenal ulcer.
  • Participant of other ongoing clinical trials.
