Abstract
Aim: Myocardial protection during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery is a multifactorial problem. Careful, individualized choice of graft sequence and maintenance of stable systemic hemodynamics are of central importance. Patients with coronary artery disease have a high risk of adverse cardiac outcome during and after surgery. Thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) aims at a more specific reversible blockade of cardiac sympathetic efferents provides effective intra- and postoperative analgesia. Methods: 82 patients (mean age 69.2±14 years) undergoing off-pump coronary surgery have been divided into 2 groups (traditional general anesthesia (50), TEA combined anesthesia (32) (Naropin). Results: In the TEA group heart rate (HR) was low (12.6%, p
