Abstract

Robotic hybrid coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is an emerging intervention which maximizes the surgical benefit of left internal thoracic artery anastomosis to left anterior descending (LAD) artery while permitting concomitant percutaneous coronary intervention to non-LAD lesions during a single anesthesthetic. Unique anesthetic considerations include intraoperative management of hemodynamic changes predicted in robotic-assisted CABG caused by one lung ventilation (OLV) and intrathoracic CO2 insufflation, anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and immediate extubation for eligible patients with adequate pain control.
