AVANCES DEL DR. FEDERICO BENETTI

El Dr. Benetti ha realizado numerosos inventos que han permitido el desarrollo y la aplicación de la cirugía coronaria mini invasiva (Cirugía sin Circulación Extracorpórea), técnica que siendo desarrollada por él mismo en la Argentina desde 1978 ha permitido la reproducción de la cirugía en el mundo entero. 
Actualmente, cerca del 45 % de la cirugía coronaria en Asia se realiza con esta técnica, 30 % en USA, 18 % en Europa y el 10% en América Latina. Por la ventajas se prevé un incremento mucho mayor en todo el mundo en los próximos años. El Dr. Benetti y su Fundación realizan una ardua labor a nivel mundial en la capacitación y enseñanza de esta y otras técnica a cirujanos del mundo entero.

Cabe destacar que la Fundación Benetti nunca recibió ningún aporte del estado Argentino.

Abstract

Background The use of bilateral internal thoracic (mammary) arteries for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) may improve long-term outcomes as compared with the use of a single internal-thoracic-artery plus vein grafts. Methods We randomly assigned patients scheduled for CABG to undergo single or bilateral internal-thoracic-artery grafting in 28 cardiac surgical centers in seven countries. The primary outcome was death from any cause at 10 years. The composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or stroke was a secondary outcome. Interim analyses were prespecified at 5 years of follow-up. Results A total of 3102 patients were enrolled; 1554 were randomly assigned to undergo single internal-thoracic-artery grafting (the single-graft group) and 1548 to undergo bilateral internal-thoracic-artery grafting (the bilateral-graft group). At 5 years of follow-up, the rate of death was 8.7% in the bilateral-graft group and 8.4% in the single-graft group (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81 to 1.32; P=0.77), and the rate of the composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or stroke was 12.2% and 12.7%, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.79 to 1.17; P=0.69). The rate of sternal wound complication was 3.5% in the bilateral-graft group versus 1.9% in the single-graft group (P=0.005), and the rate of sternal reconstruction was 1.9% versus 0.6% (P=0.002). Conclusions Among patients undergoing CABG, there was no significant difference between those receiving single internal-thoracic-artery grafts and those receiving bilateral internal-thoracic-artery grafts with regard to mortality or the rates of cardiovascular events at 5 years of follow-up. There were more sternal wound complications with bilateral internal-thoracic-artery grafting than with single internal-thoracic-artery grafting. Ten-year follow-up is ongoing.

Risk of stroke with "no-touch" - As compared to conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. An updated meta-analysis of observational studies.

Kowalewski M1, Suwalski P2, Pawliszak W3, Benetti F4, Raffa GM5, Malvindi PG6, Carrel T7, Paparella D8, Anisimowicz L3.

Conclusion

In patients with multivessel coronary disease, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) leads to an unequivocal reduction in long-term mortality, myocardial infarctions and need of repeat revascularization when compared with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Previous randomized trial [1] and meta-analysis [2] pointed to that benefit being offset by excess of early and mid-term cerebral strokes following CABG which are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Off-pump CABG (OPCAB) - as a strong alternative to CABG performed under extracorporeal circulation, was shown to reduce some of the complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass, and in particular adverse cerebrovascular events

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With and Without Manipulation of the Ascending Aorta: A Network Meta-Analysis.

Conclusion

Avoidance of aortic manipulation in anOPCABG may decrease the risk of post-operative stroke, especially in patients with higher stroke risk. In addition, the elimination of cardiopulmonary bypass may reduce the risk of short-term mortality, renal failure, atrial fibrillation, bleeding, and length of intensive care unit stay.

Conclusion

MIDCAB represents a safe treatment option in octogenarians and is associated with a good perioperative outcome and satisfying long-term results in octogenarians.

No-Touch Saphenous Vein Harvesting May Improve Further the Patency of Saphenous Vein Composite Grafts: Early Outcomes and 1-Year Angiographic Results.

Kim YH1, Oh HC1, Choi JW1, Hwang HY1, Kim KB2.

Conclusion

The SV grafts harvested with a no-touch technique further improved the early and 1-year patency of SV composite grafts. Midterm and long-term angiographic follow-up may be warranted to demonstrate the superiority of no-touch SV composite grafts.

Todos estos son algunos de los  recientes trabajos científicos publicados en peer review. Los mismos  son concluyentes en cuanto que el mejor tratamiento actual para los pacientes con obstrucciones coronarias es emplear nuestras técnicas quirúrgicas ya sea con el concepto Híbrido o aisladas para la arteria descendente anterior conectando la arteria mamaria izquierda  es decir MIDCAB o MINI OPCAB más stents on sin stents o nuestra técnica de cirugía sin bomba sin tocar la aorta conectando la mamaria izquierda a la arteria descendente anterior y los otros bypasses usando la mamaria derecha como inflow con vena non touch. Al no haberse podido demostrar a 5 años la superioridad al usar 2 arterias mamarias en vez de una hasta el momento. Todos los beneficios con respecto a la cirugía convencional con circulación extracorpórea se ven  más a medida que el paciente tiene más comorbilidades y es más añoso. No obstante la demostración de la reducción de 61% de STROKE al no usar la circulación extracorpórea y no tocar la aorta  es un dato científico contundente en tratar de abolir la circulación extracorpórea en el paciente que necesite cirugía coronaria de ser posible La cirugía sin la circulación extracorpórea (Técnica que comenzamos a desarrollar en Rosario en 1978 e impusimos en el Mundo entero). Requiere de un entrenamiento adecuado y supervisado por alguien con experiencia  hasta  su aplicación en forma rutinaria.
