Renal Outcome in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Total Coronary Revascularization via Anterior Minithoracotomy Compared to Full Median Sternotomy Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Renal dysfunction and acute renal failure after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are among the main causes of increased mortality and morbidity. A sternum-sparing concept of minimally invasive total coronary revascularization via anterior minithoracotomy (TCRAT) was introduced with promising early and midterm outcomes in multivessel coronary artery disease. There are limited data regarding renal complications in patients undergoing the TCRAT technique. The present study analyzed renal outcomes in TCRAT compared to CABG via full median sternotomy (FS). Methods: We analyzed the records of 227 consecutive TCRAT patients (from September 2021 to June 2023) and 228 consecutive FS patients (from January 2017 to December 2018) who underwent nonemergent CABG.
