1 Clinical Investigation and Reports Effectiveness of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With or Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Overweight Patients Raimondo Ascione, MD; Barnaby C. Reeves, DPhil; Karen Rees, PhD; Gianni D. Angelini, FRCS Background Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery has been demonstrated to reduce morbidity in elective patients. However, high-risk patients might benefit the most from this surgical procedure. Our goal was to investigate the effectiveness of on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery on early clinical outcome in a consecutive series of overweight patients. Methods and Results From April 1996 to April 2001, data on 4321 patients undergoing coronary surgery (mortality 1.4%) were prospectively entered into the Patient Analysis and Tracking System. Data were extracted for all patients with a body mass index 25 kg/m 2. A risk-adjusted analysis was performed to assess the effect of surgical technique in the whole overweight cohort patients were identified (2261 male, median age 63, interquartile range 56 to 68). Patients undergoing on-pump surgery (2170, 76.3%) were less likely than those undergoing off-pump surgery to have hypercholesterolemia or left main stem disease and were, on average, less obese. However, they were more likely to have unstable angina and to have had a previous myocardial infarction, and they had more extensive coronary disease and received more grafts (all P 0.05). Unadjusted analyses, taking account only of consultant team, showed significant benefits of off-pump surgery in terms of hospital deaths, arrhythmias, inotropic use, use of intra-aortic balloon pump, blood loss, transfusion requirement, postoperative hemoglobin, chest infections, neurological complications, intensive care unit and hospital stay (all P 0.05). After adjustment for confounding prognostic factors, the benefits of off-pump surgery were still significant for death in hospital, transfusion requirement, postoperative hemoglobin, neurological complications, intensive care unit and hospital stay (ORs 0.35 to 0.79, P 0.05). Conclusions These results suggest that off-pump surgery is safe and effective and is associated with a reduced in-hospital mortality and morbidity in overweight patients when compared with conventional coronary surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest. (Circulation. 2002;106: ) Key Words: obesity cardiopulmonary bypass morbidity coronary disease mortality Over recent decades, improvement of socioeconomic conditions has led to an expansion of the overweight population worldwide. Obesity is well known to be a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. 1 3 It is also thought to be a risk factor for perioperative morbidity and mortality with cardiac surgery and other major surgical procedures. 4 The latest review of information from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Database indicated that morbid obesity is an independent predictor of increased operative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). 5 In recent randomized controlled trials, we demonstrated that performing coronary surgery on the beating heart without the extracorporeal circulation reduces morbidity in elective patients. 6,7 However, there is no evidence about the effectiveness of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery in overweight patients. The use of a high-quality prospective database to document all patients undergoing coronary revascularization in our institution created the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of modern techniques of coronary surgery on early clinical outcome with the use of a cohort study design. Methods Patient Selection and Data Collection A standard set of perioperative data are collected prospectively for all patients undergoing CABG at our institution. The data set includes 5 different sections to be filled in consecutively by anesthetist, surgeon, intensive care unit (ICU), high-dependency unit, and ward nurses. Data are entered into the Patient Analysis and Tracking Systems, Dendrite Clinical Systems, London, UK. In the present study, the definition of overweight has been based on body mass index (BMI, defined as weight/height 2 ), because it is the body size measurement that best correlates with body fat content. 8 Patients with BMI 25 kg/m 2 were classified as overweight as specified by the American Heart Association guidelines. 3 Data were extracted from the database for consecutive patients with BMI 25 kg/m 2 who had undergone CABG between April 1996 and April Received April 30, 2002; revision received July 18, 2002; accepted July 19, From the Bristol Heart Institute, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.

2 Ascione et al Off-Pump Coronary Surgery in Overweight Patients 1765 Allocation to on-pump and off-pump surgery was on the basis of the preference and expertise of the surgeons performing the operations, as well as (during the early part of data collection when experience was still being gained with off-pump techniques) on the basis of coronary anatomy and number of grafts required. The decision about which method to use was made after opening the chest, when the anatomy of the coronary vessels could be explored. Anesthetic and Heparin Management Anesthetic technique was standardized for all patients and has been previously reported. 6 Briefly, this consisted of intravenous anesthesia with propofol infusion at 3 mg/kg per hour combined with remifentanil infusion at 0.5 to 1 g/kg per minute. Neuromuscular blockade was achieved by 0.1 to 0.15 mg/kg pancuronium bromide or vecuronium and the lungs ventilated to normocapnia with air and oxygen (45% to 50%) without positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). In the on-pump group, heparin was given at a dose of 300 IU/kg to achieve a target activated clotting time (ACT) of 480 seconds before commencement of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In the off-pump group, heparin (100 IU/kg) was administered before the start of the first anastomosis to achieve an ACT of 250 to 350 seconds. On completion of all anastomoses, protamine was given to reverse the effect of heparin and return the ACT to preoperative levels. Surgical Technique On Pump CPB was instituted by use of ascending aortic cannulation and 2-stage venous cannulation of the right atrium. A standard circuit Bard tubing set was used, which included a 40- m filter, a Stockert roller pump, and a hollow fiber membrane oxygenator (Sorin Biomedica). Nonpulsatile flow was used and flow rates throughout bypass were 2.4 L/m 2 per minute. The systemic temperature was kept between 34 C and 36 C. Myocardial protection was achieved by use of intermittent anterograde hyperkaliemic warm blood cardioplegia. 6 Off Pump The method of exposure and stabilization to perform the anastomosis consisted of a technique previously described by our group. 9 Briefly, the target vessel was exposed and snared above the anastomotic site with the use of a 4-0 Prolene suture with a soft plastic snugger. The coronary artery was then opened, an intracoronary shunt was used in case of relative electrocardiographic or hemodynamic instability or excessive bleeding, and the anastomosis performed. Postoperative Management At the end of surgery, patients were transferred to the ICU. Forced-air warming was used until a stable nasopharyngeal temperature of 37 C had been reached. Patients were extubated as soon as they met the following criteria: hemodynamic stability, no excessive bleeding ( 80 ml/h), normothermia, and consciousness with pain control. Fluid management postoperatively consisted of 5% dextrose infused at 1 ml/kg per hour, with additional Gelofusine or blood to maintain normovolemia and hematocrit 24%. Figure 1. Percentage of overweight patients with BMI 25 distributed by year and by surgical technique (1996 [April to December]). Clinical Data Collection, Monitoring, and Definitions Data characterizing perioperative clinical outcome were entered prospectively into the Patient Analysis and Tracking System database. In-hospital mortality was defined as any death that occurred within 30 days of operation. Perioperative myocardial infarction (MI), ST-segment changes, pacing, arrhythmias, and inotropic requirements were recorded and defined as previously reported. 6 Pulmonary complications included chest infection, ventilation failure, reintubation, and tracheostomy. Postoperative blood loss was defined as total chest tube drainage. 10 Neurological complications included permanent and transient stroke. 11 Renal complication included acute renal failure as defined by the requirement of hemodialysis. Finally, infective complications included septicemia and sternal and leg wound infection, as defined by positive culture and requiring antibiotic therapy. 6 Statistical Analysis Patients with BMI 25 kg/m 2 were classified according to the surgical technique used. Conversions from off-pump to on-pump surgery were analyzed by intention-to-treat. The distributions of prognostic factors in on-pump and off-pump groups were compared with the use of 2 tests for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney rank-sum tests for continuous variables. Outcomes were initially compared between groups by use of logistic regression, adjusting only for the consultant teams performing the operation (entered in the model as fixed effects). These analyses allowed for varying performance between consultant teams but not for imbalance in prognostic factors between groups. To take account of imbalances in prognostic factors, propensity scores were calculated. 12 These scores estimated the probability of membership of on-pump or off-pump groups, as predicted by all known characteristics of the entire cohort of obese patients. Scores for each individual were derived by logistic regression and then transformed into logits. 12 Multivariable comparisons were performed by use of multiple logistic regression. The method varied depending on the frequency of the outcome of interest. For rare outcomes ( 50 events in the off-pump group), models included only consultant teams and dummy variables representing quintiles of the propensity scores. (For some outcomes, which did not occur in either group for one or more consultant teams, the effects of consultant team could not be modeled. For these outcomes, robust standard errors for the effect of off- versus on-pump surgery were estimated instead, to take account of the clustering of patients within surgical teams.) For frequent outcomes ( 50 events in the off-pump group), models included dummy variables representing quintiles of the propensity scores and Figure 2.

Because imbalance in prognostic factors between groups was already taken into account by the propensity score, inclusion of these additional variables rarely altered the estimate of the effect of off-pump surgery. Exact P values and confidence intervals are presented throughout. The large number of prognostic variables and outcomes of interest resulted in many statistical comparisons. No correction was made for multiple comparisons, but our interpretation of the findings takes into account the consistency of the associations observed and their magnitude, as well as their statistical significance. Results A total of 2844 patients with BMI 25 underwent CABG (674 off pump, 23.7%) under the care of 4 consultant teams. (Operations performed by trainee surgeons were included in the consultant team responsible for the care of the patient.) An increase in the proportion of off-pump surgery during the study period was observed (Figure 1). There were 2 conversions to on-pump surgery among patients in whom a decision to perform off-pump surgery had been made.

Furthermore, after adjustment for prognostic variables, odds ratios (ORs) for many of the adverse outcomes investigated still indicated significant benefit of off-pump surgery (point estimates of ORs, 0.35 to 0.79, P 0.05), ie, hospital deaths, neurological complications, transfusion requirement, postoperative hemoglobin, ICU and hospital length of stay. Discussion Obesity is often considered to be a risk factor for perioperative morbidity and mortality with cardiac surgery and other major surgical procedures despite little evidence in the literature. 13 The American Heart Association recognizes obesity as a major risk for coronary artery disease and suggests that this condition is often associated with other risk factors including diabetes, hypertension, and impaired respiratory function. 3,14,15 The results of prior studies of the relationship between obesity and the risk of adverse clinical outcomes after CABG procedures have been rather contradictory A recent analysis of the database of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons has shown that morbid obesity is an independent predictor of increased operative mortality in CABG patients. 5 Prasad et al, 15 in a comparison of 250 obese patients versus 250 age-matched and sex-matched controls of normal BMI, found obesity to be an independent risk factor for perioperativemorbidity. On the other hand, Christakis et al, 16 in a retrospective study on a population of 7025 patients, showed that sex, but not BMI, was a significant independent predictor of operative mortality and low-output syndrome, after adjusting for other preoperative risk variables. Similar results were obtained by Brandt et al, 17 who concluded that severe obesity does not necessarily adversely affect perioperative mortality and morbidity. Equal or even reduced operative mortality in obese versus nonobese patients has also been shown in a recent large study by Birkmeyer et al. 13 The investigation of the influence of off-pump surgery on early clinical outcome in overweight patients was the primary objective of the present study. Statistically significant benefits from off-pump surgery were identified for the majority of the outcomes investigated, and these effects remained after adjustment for confounding prognostic variables, including BMI. The magnitude of the differences between groups in terms of in-hospital morbidity is quite striking, with the odds of some outcomes being reduced by more than half and the odds of several other outcomes by one third to one half. There are several possible explanations for these findings: In a recent series of studies designed to compare off-pump with conventional CABG, we provided evidence for greater inflammatory activation and subsystem organ dysfunction in elective patients undergoing on-pump surgery. 6,11,20,21 These effects may be even more pronounced in overweight patients. Obesity has been shown to be independently associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction even in patients with normal or mildly diseased coronary arteries. 22 This association, when combined with the high CPB-related inflammatory response, might explain the increased morbidity observed in the on-pump groups of the present study. The greater degree of hemodilution because of CPB circuit prime volume and colloid administration on weaning from CPB with the resultant greater oncotic pressure gradient may also favor fluid extravasation. Such oncotic forces, combined with the known effects of CPB on complement activation and the subsequent compromise of endothelial integrity, may lead to increased net fluid retention through capillary leak. 18,19 Increased fluid retention increases the likelihood of postoperative lung edema with deleterious effects on lung mechanisms and tissue oxygenation and increased need for mechanical ventilation. 18 It might be argued that, without blinding of the patients and their caregivers, some of the outcomes could be biased by knowledge of the type of surgery. We believe that bias is unlikely to be an explanation for the results. First, none of the healthcare staff were aware during the period of the study that the comparison was going to be made. Second, as described above (see Methods), strict local guidelines are used to make decisions about perioperative patient care management and these guidelines were applied carefully throughout the period of the study and would have minimized the opportunity for bias. Without random allocation it is not possible to exclude the possibility that the findings arise from confounding. However, we believe that confounding is unlikely to explain the benefits observed from off-pump surgery for several reasons. The method for allocating patients to on-pump or off-pump surgery (see Methods) does not appear to have created 2 groups with substantially different risks of adverse outcomes, although off-pump patients required, on average, fewer grafts. The effects of off-pump surgery were large across a wide range of outcomes. In conclusion, off-pump surgery in overweight patients is safe and is associated with reduced mortality and morbidity when compared with conventional CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest.
