Filter by:Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting are at risk for perioperative myocardial ischemia. Episodes of tachycardia and hypertension, which are associated with an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption, are predictive events of these ischemia. During cardiac surgery by sternotomy, some maneuvers, e.g. intubation, skin incision, sternotomy and cannulation, may be associated with tachycardia and/or increases in blood pressure despite an adequate level of anesthesia. Usually these episodes are controlled by the administration of a high-dose of anesthetic agents. The parasternal block, by bolus or continuous infusion through a single catheter, showed its effectiveness on postoperative pain after sternotomy. It allows a blocking of anterior branches of intercostal nerves at the lateral edge of the sternum; branches in charge of innervation of the sternum and the overlying skin surface. The preoperative parasternal block, once general anesthesia performed, could provide an effective level of locoregional anesthesia of the chest wall, thus limiting the occurrence of episodes of tachycardia and / or hypertension without having to resort to massive doses of anesthetic agents during sternotomy in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
The question this research project wants to explore is whether using the Prevena Incision Management System (Prevena) will improve sternal wound edge oxygenation in patients undergoing Coronary Artery bypass surgery with Bilateral Internal Mammary Artery grafts.
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, observational study to assess the acute safety and efficacy of MINI TREK RX 1.20 mm for enlarging coronary luminal diameter during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures in subjects with ischemic heart disease due to stenotic lesions.
