Comparing a New Technique of Combining Carbon-dioxide With Electrocautery With Usual Technique of Stand-alone Electrocautery for Taking Down Left Internal Mammary Artery for Coronary Artery Bypass(CABG)

A Comparative Study Between Conventional & Modified Carbo-dissection Techniques for LIMA Harvesting in CABG Patients

• Status: Completed

Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of a new harvesting technique for an arterial conduit(LIMA - Left Internal Mammary artery) in patients undergoing Coronary artery bypass grafting. The researcher will compare the 1. Time taken to harvest the artery 2. Flow of blood between the two techniques

Detailed description

Following consultation to our department, after a detailed history and clinical examination,patients with CAD, being planned for CABG, will be subjected to a detailed pre-op Echocardiogram and coronary angiogram. After necessary pre-op assessment, patient will be taken up for the surgery. Invasive monitoring will be done. Following dissection of LIMA by the above mentioned technique, flow of blood from the harvested LIMA, for one whole minute is noted. The operative time required for the dissection of LIMA will be noted and entered. The data between the two techniques will be compared statistically.

Conditions

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Coronary Artery Disease With Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Modified Carbo-dissection Technique	This technique comes the C02 blower with electrocautery. Thereby, producing vasodilatation due to the gas and dissection aided by the electrocautery.
PROCEDURE	Conventional Arm	This technique uses only the electrocautery as conventional model
