Background
Residents must be trained to perform cardiac surgical procedures
Balance between education and what is best for the patient
Prior studies have shown no impact on CABG clinical outcomes
Little information about effect on graft patency
Background
Bakaeen et al., 2012 – residents and attendings had similar outcomes and 1-year patency
Bakaeen et al., 2009 – residents had longer operative times, perfusion and cross-clamp times, but similar outcomes
Guo et al., 2008 – residents /fellows vs. consultants had similar operative morbidity and mortality in on-pump CABG
Background
Haan et al., 2007 – hospitals with residency programs have longer perfusion times but similar outcomes
Asimakopoulos et al., 2006 – residents had similar operative morbidity and mortality in off-pump CABG
Ascione et al., 2004 – residents had similar morbidity and mortality in high-risk off-pump CABG patients
Research Questions
Do different clinical outcomes result when residents vs. attendings perform the majority of distal coronary anastomoses?
Do grafts performed during CABG by residents vs. attendings have different rates of patency at 1 year postop?
Are these results different for on-pump vs. off-pump CABG?
ROOBY Trial
VA Cooperative Study (18 centers) February 2002 – May 2008 Prospective, randomized, single-blinded Comparison of CABG with and without CPB
ONCAB (n = 1,099) OPCAB (n = 1,104) Total (n = 2,203)
Study Population
All patients = 1,272 16 centers with cardiac surgery residents Data on resident anastomoses captured
beginning July 2003
OPCAB = 639 Patients Resident as primary surgeon: 431 (67.4%)
ONCAB = 633 Patients Resident as primary surgeon: 493 (77.9%)
Definition
Primary surgeon: The individual (resident or attending) who
performed ≥ 50% of the distal anastomoses in a given patient
Clinical Outcomes
Short-term (30-day) composite endpoint: Death Reoperation New mechanical support Cardiac arrest Coma Stroke Renal failure requiring dialysis
1-year composite endpoint: Death from any cause within 1 year after surgery Nonfatal myocardial infarction between 30 days and 1 year Any revascularization procedure between 30 days and 1 year
Graft Patency
Coronary angiography at 1 year postop
FitzGibbon classification A = An excellent/unimpaired graft B = An impaired graft with a stenosis >50%
reducing the caliber of the graft to <50% of the target artery diameter
O = A completely occluded graft
Statistical Methods
Discrete variables: Chi-square or Fisher Exact tests
Continuous variables: Student T-tests
Multivariate Regression
Significance at p < 0.01 for all ROOBY sub-studies

Limitations
Attendings could have assisted residents in ways not documented
Predominantly male veteran population Subgroup analysis Resident anastomosis data not captured
during first year of ROOBY trial Follow-up limited to 1 year
Conclusions
For ROOBY Trial patients: No difference in perioperative
outcomes No difference in 1-year outcomes No difference in 1-year graft
patency
Conclusion
Residents can and should be trained in advanced surgical techniques with no negative impact on surgical outcomes.
