In the classical bypass operations, the cardiopulmonary pump device is used and the operation is performed while the heart is stopped.

In beating heart coronary bypass surgery, the operation is performed without stopping the heart. This technique can be employed in all patients with coronary artery disease. Beating heart method is preferred particularly in patients with impaired systole, chronic pulmonary disease, patients who had stroke in their past, with renal insufficiency, in 70+ age group, and patients with cancer. The purpose of preferring this method is to minimize the risk for high-risk group patients.

In coronary artery bypass operations, new arteries, taken from different parts of the body, are used to bypass the narrowed part. The most commonly used one is the saphenous vein. The other ones are the thoracic artery and the axillary artery. Research shows that in the long-term, the best results are taken from the bypasses made using the thoracic artery.

While 50-60% of the bypasses made using the saphenous vein remain open in 10 years, this rate rises to 90-95% for the bypasses made with the thoracic artery. devam
