Objective To analyse the characteristic of hemodynamic changes during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Methods One hundred consecutive patients received OPCAB and the hemodynamic changes were monitored during the grafts was anastomosed. They were anastomosis of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending (LAD) in 97 patients, the anastomosis of saphenous vein (SV) or radial artery(RA) to right coronary artery (RCA) including posterior descending artery (PDA) and posterior left branch (PLB) in 84 patients, to left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) in 50 patients, to optuse marginal artery(OM) in 27 patients, to diagonal artery (DG) in 25 patients. The grafts number in each patient was 3. 1±0. 7. Results Hemodynamics changed when LAD and DG were anastomosed with significantly increase of heart rate (HR), significantly decrease of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI, P〈0.05). Hemodynamics changed when LCX,PDA,PLB,OM were anastomosed with significantly increase of HR and center veinous pressure (CVP, P 〈 0. 05), significantly decrease of MAP, cardiac index (CI), stroke index (SI), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), LVSWI and right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI,P〈0.05). Hemodynamics tended to be stable and CI improved at the end of operation. Conclusion There are no or little hemodynamic changes during the LAD and DG were anastomosed in OPCAB, while hemodynamics changed significantly during LCX, PDA, PLB and OM were anastomosed. Hemodynamics become stable and CI improves after operation.
