Abstract
Aim To evaluate the safety and efficacy of adenosine-induced transient asystole (AITA) during surgery for basilar artery aneurysms. Materials and Methods All the patients with basilar artery aneurysms operated using AITA at our institute during two years period (August 2013-July 2015) were included in this study. Results Adenosine was used in 11 patients with 13 basilar artery aneurysms. Seven of these aneurysms were basilar bifurcation aneurysms, four were basilar-superior cerebellar artery junction aneurysms, and two were distal basilar trunk aneurysms. The indications for AITA were narrow corridor for placement of temporary clip in 11 aneurysms, intraop rupture in 1 aneurysm, and circumferential dissection of a large aneurysm in 1. The mean dose of adenosine used for inducing asystole was 19.4 mg (range: 15-30 mg) and the mean total dose of adenosine used was 40.6 mg (range: 18-90 mg). A mean of 2 (range: 1-5) AITAs were required during surgical treatment of these aneurysms. The mean duration of a systole was 27 s (range: 9-76 s). There were no complications related to AITA in these patients except for transient rebound hypertension in one patient. Check angiogram revealed complete obliteration of 11 aneurysms and small residual neck in 2 aneurysms. Modified Rankin Scale at three months of follow-up was 0 in seven patients, 1 in two patients, 4 in one patient, and 6 in one patient. Conclusion AITA during surgical management of basilar artery aneurysms is a safe and effective technique and has an important role during surgery for these aneurysms.

Abstract
Continuously growing patient's demand, technological innovation, and surgical expertise have led to the widespread popularity of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). Patient's demand is being driven by less surgical trauma, reduced scarring, lesser pain, substantially lesser duration of hospital stay, and early return to normal activity. In addition, MICS decreases the incidence of postoperative respiratory dysfunction, chronic pain, chest instability, deep sternal wound infection, bleeding, and atrial fibrillation. Widespread media coverage, competition among surgeons and hospitals, and their associated brand values have further contributed in raising awareness among patients. In this process, surgeons and anesthesiologist have moved from the comfort of traditional wide incision surgeries to more challenging and intensively skilled MICS. A wide variety of cardiac lesions, techniques, and approaches coupled with a significant learning curve have made the anesthesiologist's job a challenging one. Anesthesiologists facilitate in providing optimal surgical settings beginning with lung isolation, confirmation of diagnosis, cannula placement, and cardioplegia delivery. However, the concern remains and it mainly relates to patient safety, prolonged intraoperative duration, and reduced surgical exposure leading to suboptimal treatment. The risk of neurological complications, aortic injury, phrenic nerve palsy, and peripheral vascular thromboembolism can be reduced by proper preoperative evaluation and patient selection. Nevertheless, advancement in surgical instruments, perfusion practices, increasing use of transesophageal echocardiography, and accumulating experience of surgeons and anesthesiologist have somewhat helped in amelioration of these valid concerns. A patient-centric approach and clear communication between the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and perfusionist are vital for the success of MICS.

Serebruany VL. Adenosine release: a potential explanation for the benefits of ticagrelor in the PLATelet inhibition and clinical outcomes trial? Am Heart J 2011; 161:1-4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE the objective of the study was to hypothesize on the potential mechanism explaining the surprising mortality benefit of ticagrelor in the PLATO trial. BACKGROUND in PLATO, the mortality reduction (107 deaths) numerically exceeds the myocardial infarction prevention benefit (89 events), making it a hitherto unmatchable achievement of ticagrelor over active comparator. If confirmed, such an impressive mortality advantage will be critical for the further success of ticagrelor to compensate for its otherwise unfavorable safety profile. In fact, such an impressive survival represents an entirely unexpected benefit, which will serve as a key point in the drug approval process and subsequent use in clinical practice. METHODS The potential association of ticagrelor as a promoter of blood adenosine serving as adenosine agonist is assessed. RESULTS multiple properties of adenosine, which can be closely matched with both clinical benefits and adverse events after ticagrelor, suggest that this novel pyrimidine is not a pure antiplatelet agent. Unquestionably, ticagrelor potently inhibits platelet activity via established mechanism of P2Y12 receptor blockade, probably chronically increasing blood adenosine levels and ultimately contributing to the vascular outcome benefit observed in PLATO. CONCLUSIONS future randomized trials of ticagrelor in acute heart failure, sudden death prevention, and treatment of atrial fibrillation are warranted and will expand our understanding of the potential role of adenosine in the outcome benefit after pyrimidines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adequate stabilization of anastomosis sites during off-pump coronary artery bypass is essential to obtain excellent graft patency. We examined the effect of beta-1 adrenergic receptor blockade on the target coronary artery motion by three-dimensional (3D) digital motion capture and reconstruction technology. METHODS Eight pigs underwent a sternotomy. Reflection markers were attached to the surface coronary arteries, followed by a mechanical stabilizer application. Two high-speed digital cameras captured two-dimensional (2D) motion of the markers from different angles. These 2D data were reconstructed into 3D data points, representing the motion of each coronary artery. Landiolol hydrochloride, a novel selective beta-1 receptor blocker, was infused intravenously after acquisition of control data. RESULTS Beta-1 receptor blockade decreased heart rate (105 ± 16 vs. 90 ± 9 beat/min; P = 0.007) without decreasing arterial blood pressure. The 3D distance moved (millimeter) during one cardiac cycle was significantly reduced on the left anterior descending (9.6 ± 2.8 vs. 6.6 ± 1.9 mm; P = 0.003), left circumflex (10.5 ± 6.3 vs. 6.4 ± 2.6 mm; P = 0.038), and right coronary (8.3 ± 3.6 vs. 6.5 ± 2.1 mm; P = 0.028) arteries. Reduction in the maximal velocity, maximal acceleration, and maximal deceleration of the anastomosis site in all coronary arteries was also found in a quantitative fashion. CONCLUSIONS Selective beta-1 receptor blockade significantly reduces the 3D motion at anastomosis sites on the beating heart, with stable systemic blood pressure. Further quantitative investigations of pharmacological stabilization are warranted to achieve better outcome of the patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate our newly developed 3-dimensional digital motion-capture and reconstruction system in an animal experiment setting and to characterize quantitatively the three regional cardiac surface motions, in the left anterior descending artery, right coronary artery, and left circumflex artery, before and after stabilization using a stabilizer. METHODS Six pigs underwent a full sternotomy. Three tiny metallic markers (diameter 2 mm) coated with a reflective material were attached on three regional cardiac surfaces (left anterior descending, right coronary, and left circumflex coronary artery regions). These markers were captured by two high-speed digital video cameras (955 frames per second) as 2-dimensional coordinates and reconstructed to 3-dimensional data points (about 480 xyz-position data per second) by a newly developed computer program. RESULTS The remaining motion after stabilization ranged from 0.4 to 1.01 mm at the left anterior descending, 0.91 to 1.52 mm at the right coronary artery, and 0.53 to 1.14 mm at the left circumflex regions. Significant differences before and after stabilization were evaluated in maximum moving velocity (left anterior descending 456.7 +/- 178.7 vs 306.5 +/- 207.4 mm/s; right coronary artery 574.9 +/- 161.7 vs 446.9 +/- 170.7 mm/s; left circumflex 578.7 +/- 226.7 vs 398.9 +/- 192.6 mm/s; P < .0001) and maximum acceleration (left anterior descending 238.8 +/- 137.4 vs 169.4 +/- 132.7 m/s2; right coronary artery 315.0 +/- 123.9 vs 242.9 +/- 120.6 m/s2; left circumflex 307.9 +/- 151.0 vs 217.2 +/- 132.3 m/s2; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS This system is useful for a precise quantification of the heart surface movement. This helps us better understand the complexity of the heart, its motion, and the need for developing a better stabilizer for beating heart surgery.

Abstract
Upon introducing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the indications for CABG were expanded to include patients who previously had no operative indications. For accurate anastomosis, various devices and methods have been developed. Bradycardia is easily induced by drug administration. However, this method of achieving bradycardia also has adverse effects on cardiac function. We have developed a new device to decrease the heart rate by regional cooling of the sino-atrial node. The new device is incorporated with Peltier's element, which uses an electric charge to create a temperature gradient on both of its surfaces. In terms of the cooling ability of this device, its cooling surface is chilled from 25 degrees C to 0 degrees C within 30 s. During in vivo animal experiments, this device has been shown to decrease the myocardial temperature around the sino-atrial node to 15 degrees C and suppress sino-atrial node activity, resulting in bradycardia to 60 beats/min level. In summary, the simple and easily applicable device for local cooling in combination with the application of diltiazem for effective heart rate reduction may be very helpful for the surgeon and may avoid disadvantages for critically ill patients.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass has several associated deleterious effects that include a systemic inflammatory response, coagulopathy, central nervous system complications and a variable degree of end-organ damage. The recent upsurge in interest in "beating-heart" surgery attempts to avoid these deleterious effects. Advances in surgical technique, such as the use of intracoronary shunts and the Octopus retractor, have made beating-heart surgery a reality. The challenges for the anaesthetist are greater than for coronary artery surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass, and whilst some advantages are proven, such as the lack of the inflammatory response and the decreased need for blood or blood products, others have yet to be proved and there is a need for further research. The advantages and disadvantages need to be evaluated in randomised studies in order to confirm the safety and efficacy of these new techniques in terms of long-term graft patency and decreased morbidity.

Abstract
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is used for both extracardiac and intracardiac procedures. Extracardiac procedures, such as coronary artery bypass grafting, are often performed on a beating heart. Intracardiac procedures are done with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgery is performed via a minithoracotomy or a ministernotomy. Thoracoscopic video-assisted surgery, often with robotic assistance, necessitates prolonged one-lung ventilation to optimize exposure. Port-access surgery will require appropriate positioning of various catheters to establish cardiopulmonary bypass. Adequate flow during cardiopulmonary bypass may require suction augmentation of venous return and may increase the risk of air emboli. Limited exposure of the heart during surgery poses challenges with management of arrhythmia, haemostasis, myocardial protection and de-airing at the end of surgery. Patient selection is important to avoid intra-operative and post-operative complications. Prolonged single-lung ventilation, incomplete revascularization in hybrid procedures, and limited access for rapid intervention pose challenges with patient management. Conversion to sternotomy that may be required occasionally and extension of portals over several dermatomal segments mandate a versatile analgesic technique.

Abstract
An innovative new approach to coronary revasculariza tion, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass is performed via a small anterior minithoracotomy or ministernotomy on a beating heart without the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. Components of this tech nique, including thoracoscopic video-assisted harvest ing of the internal mammary artery, often with har monic scalpel and potentially even robotic assistance, necessitate prolonged one-lung ventilation. In the ab sence of cardioplegia, myocardial protection during normothermic beating heart surgery poses a challenge. Patient selection is important to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. Prolonged single- lung ventilation, incomplete revascularization in hybrid procedures, and limited access for rapid intervention pose challenges with patient management. Conversion to sternotomy may be required in 5% to 7% of patients, and extension of portals over several dermatomal seg ments mandate a versatile analgesic technique. Re gional anesthesia as analgesic adjuvant allows lighter levels of general anesthesia during surgery with mini mal intraoperative hemodynamic changes and a smooth transition to postoperative analgesia. Although a num ber of regional techniques may be used to achieve this goal, thoracic epidural analgesia or continuous percuta neous paravertebral block seem to offer specific advan tages of cardiac sympathectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE Intraoperative aneurysmal rupture represents a potentially catastrophic event. We describe the use of an intravenous adenosine bolus to induce transient cardiac asystole to control a severe intraoperative aneurysmal rupture. This treatment resulted in a brief period of severe hypotension, which enabled successful clipping of the aneurysm. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 55-year-old man was referred to our institution 7 days after experiencing a mild subarachnoid hemorrhage from a fusiform, multilobulated aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. The patient was found to have multiple additional fusiform aneurysms as well as a large parietal arteriovenous malformation. INTERVENTION A craniotomy was performed to clip the aneurysm, but surgical dissection was complicated by premature rebleeding that could not be controlled satisfactorily with tamponade or temporary arterial occlusion. Infusion of adenosine resulted in the rapid onset of profound hypotension, allowing for safe completion of the dissection and clipping of the aneurysm with a good outcome. There were no complications identified in relation to the use of adenosine. CONCLUSION In the setting of severe intraoperative aneurysmal rupture, intravenous adenosine represents a potential means of achieving a near-immediate profound decrease in the blood pressure that may allow for safe completion of the dissection and aneurysm clipping.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether adenosine in association with blood cardioplegia results in more rapid cardiac arrest or improved myocardial protection. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind clinical study. SETTING Operative and intensive care units in a university hospital, Finland. PARTICIPANTS Forty patients undergoing primary, elective coronary revascularization. INTERVENTION Adenosine as a bolus dose, 12 mg intravenously, was given immediately before the induction of blood cardioplegia. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were nonsignificantly higher serial serum values of CK (MB) (p = 0.33), troponin-T (p = 0.23), and troponin-I (p = 0.10) in the adenosine group. There were no differences between the groups in arrest time, blood pressure decrease, or lactate extraction. CONCLUSIONS The adenosine regimen used in this study did not cause more rapid arrest with blood cardioplegia. The effect on cardioprotection was insignificant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review current data on minimally invasive cardiac surgery. DATA SOURCES Search through the Medline data base of French or English articles. DATA EXTRACTION The articles were analysed to make a synthesis of the various techniques with their main indications and contra-indications. DATA SYNTHESIS Minimally invasive cardiac surgery includes various surgical procedures. The usual techniques are described, their major benefits and drawbacks are discussed. The main goals of anaesthetic management are preservation of ventricular function and systemic perfusion, detection and treatment of myocardial ischaemia, prevention of hypothermia in case of coronary artery bypass grafting on the beating heart via sternotomy, intermittent selective ventilation of the collapsed lung using CPAP in case of limited thoracotomy. Expertise in transoesophageal echocardiography is essential for insertion and checking the accurate positioning of the various catheters of the endovascular CPB Heartport system (pulmonary vent, endosinus catheter, venous cannula, endoaortic clamp) allowing coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve surgery through limited thoracotomy and finally, detection of retained intracardiac air and assessment of complete clearing of cardiac cavities after mitral valve surgery through limited thoracotomy and aortic valve surgery via ministernotomy. Short-acting anaesthetic agents allow rapid recovery from anaesthesia, early extubation and discharge to the surgical ward within 24 h, whereas overall time spent in the operating room is often longer than with conventional cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study tested the hypothesis that ischemic preconditioning (IP) inhibits myocardial apoptosis after a short period of ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS In 9 anesthetized dogs, the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery was occluded for 30 min and reperfused for 3 h (control), while in 9 others, LAD occlusion was preceded by 5 min of occlusion and 5 min of reperfusion (IP). DNA from frozen myocardial tissue samples was extracted, and apoptosis were identified as "ladders" by agarose gel electrophoresis or confirmed histologically using the terminal transferase UTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay. Neutrophil accumulation was detected by measuring cardiac myeloperoxidase activity. RESULTS Thirty minutes of LAD occlusion caused a significant decrease in blood flow (colored microspheres), which was comparable between groups. In the control group, DNA ladders occurred in the area at risk (AAR) in six out nine experiments. In contrast, DNA laddering in the AAR was not observed in any of the IP group. AAR in the control group showed a greater percentage of apoptotic cells than IP (6.7 +/- 0.9% vs 1.2 +/- 0.2%; p < 0.01). Cardiac myeloperoxidase activity (U/g tissue) was significantly reduced from 0.07 +/- 0.004 in control to 0.04 +/- 0.01 in IP group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that ischemic preconditioning attenuates apoptosis and neutrophil accumulation in the AAR in a model of nonlethal acute ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extremely high flow through arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may limit the safety and effectiveness of endovascular glue therapy. To achieve a more controlled deposition of glue, we used transient but profound systemic hypotension afforded by an intravenously administered bolus of adenosine to induce rapidly reversible high-degree atrioventricular block. METHODS AND CASE REPORT A patient with a large high-flow occipital AVM fed primarily by the posterior cerebral artery underwent n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization. Nitroprusside-induced systemic hypotension did not adequately reduce flow through the nidus, as determined by contrast injection in the feeding artery. In a dose-escalation fashion, boluses of adenosine were administered to optimize the dose and verify that there was no flow reversal in the AVM and no other unexpected hemodynamic abnormalities by arterial pressure measurements and transcranial Doppler monitoring of the posterior cerebral artery feeding the AVM. Thereafter, 64 mg of adenosine was rapidly injected as a bolus to provide 10 to 15 seconds of systemic hypotension (approximately 20 mm Hg). Although there were conducted beats and some residual forward flow through the AVM during this time, the mean systemic and feeding artery pressures were roughly similar and remained relatively constant. A slow controlled injection of n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue was then performed, with excellent filling of the nidus. CONCLUSION Adenosine-induced cardiac pause may be a viable method of partial flow arrest in the treatment of cerebral AVMs. Safe, deep, and complete embolization with a permanent agent may increase the likelihood of endovascular therapy's being curative or may further improve the safety of microsurgical resection.

Abstract
The range of minimal-access cardiac surgery approaches has many implications in intraoperative management. A modified anesthetic regimen is required to deal with the type of surgical exposure, hemodynamic instability, whether cardiopulmonary bypass is used, and early extubation. Intraoperative considerations include hemodynamic monitoring, one-lung ventilation, pharmacological stabilization of the myocardium, pacing, hypothermia, bleeding, and rapid emergence with a minimum of postoperative mechanical ventilation. As a result, anesthetic methods and intraoperative management were modified to meet these specific needs of minimally invasive cardiac procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accurate performance of coronary anastomoses on the beating heart requires some form of myocardial immobilization that can be achieved pharmacologically. Different classes of drugs can be used to induce bradycardia, but the most effective in this setting of off-pump operation has not yet been determined. METHODS Fifty-six isolated buffer-perfused rabbit hearts were divided into seven equal groups. Control hearts were continuously perfused throughout the experimental time course. A second group of hearts underwent 60 minutes of potassium arrest (at 37 degrees C) followed by 1 hour of reperfusion. The following pharmacologic approaches were tested in the remaining five groups: short-acting beta-blockade (esmolol, 6 x 10(-3) mol/L and 3 x 10(-4) mol/L), opening of adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channels (nicorandil, 10(-3) mol/L and 10(-5) mol/L), and inhibition of the pacemaker current, which largely accounts for the diastolic depolarization of sinoatrial node cells (S 16257-2, 3 x 10(-6) mol/L). Each drug was infused at a constant rate for 60 minutes, after which hearts were perfused for 1 additional hour with drug-free buffer. Heart rate and isovolumic measurements of function and coronary flow were serially taken during and after drug infusion. RESULTS The worst recovery of systolic and, moreover, diastolic function was yielded by potassium arrest. Neither esmolol nor nicorandil was able to induce a significant bradycardia. However, nicorandil did not impair function which, conversely, was markedly depressed after esmolol therapy. Significant bradycardia (p < 0.0001 versus corresponding baseline values and versus all other groups) was only achieved with pacemaker current inhibition, which was otherwise associated with an excellent preservation of contractility, diastolic function, and coronary flow. CONCLUSIONS Inhibition of the pacemaker current seems to be an effective approach for inducing intraoperative bradycardia without compromising left ventricular function or flow.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether infarct size can be reduced by hypothermic pericardioperfusion. BACKGROUND We have shown that myocardial infarct size can be reduced by topical cooling of the heart. The present study tests whether myocardial cooling and protection can be produced by hypothermic pericardioperfusion using a catheter. METHODS The catheter was sutured into the pericardial space of anesthetized rabbits. Beginning 30 min before coronary artery occlusion, the space was perfused with either chilled (n = 10) or body temperature (n = 10) fluid. The artery was occluded for 30 min and reperfused for 3 h. RESULTS After 30 min of pericardioperfusion, myocardial temperature was reduced to 34.1 +/- 0.9 degrees C in chilled hearts compared with 38.9 +/- 0.4 degrees C in control hearts, p < 0.001, a reduction in myocardial temperature of approximately 5 degrees C. Risk areas were similar in both groups (32 +/- 4% left ventricle in cooled and 31 +/- 3% in control hearts, p = NS). However, infarct size in cooled hearts was significantly reduced by 49% (18 +/- 3% of risk area vs. 35 +/- 6%, p = 0.025). Tamponade did not develop, and there were no significant differences in heart rate, arterial pressure or body temperature between groups. CONCLUSIONS A significant reduction in myocardial temperature, without the development of cardiac tamponade, can be attained using a pericardial catheter to cool the pericardial space. This reduction in temperature causes a significant reduction in necrotic damage. This technique might be used to cool and protect the heart as an adjunct to thrombolysis or during minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) graft is a surgical technique that is becoming more widely accepted. Through a collaborative effort--interhospital and intrahospital--surgical team members at two hospitals in Kentucky made significant improvements on the MIDCAB procedure that positively influenced patient outcomes (e.g., less time in intensive care, shorter hospital stays, fewer complication, cost savings to the patients and institutions). This article reviews those collaborative efforts and outcomes.

Abstract
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG) may be achieved by arterial grafting on the beating heart, without cardiopulmonary bypass, and by operations via limited access. The Second Utrecht MICABG Workshop held October 4-5, 1996, focused on beating-heart coronary immobilization, limited-access thoracoscopic and direct-vision mobilization of the internal mammary artery, limited-access left anterior descending coronary artery grafting, and, finally, facilitated distal anastomosis techniques. It has yielded 33 reports in this supplement. The combined, cumulative experience of a number of participants exceeded 3,000 beating-heart cases, including more than 1,000 with arterial grafting through limited access. The average number of anastomoses per patient ranged from 1.0 to 2.0. Therapeutic strategies are evolving, and dedicated instrumentation is being developed. Randomized clinical trials with angiographic follow-up are required to establish that the reduction in invasiveness of coronary bypass grafting is not achieved at the expense of suboptimal quality of the arterial graft and the distal anastomosis.
