During 42 month period 91 consecutive patient underwent coronary artery bypass sugery. The mean age of these patient was 57 years (range from 28 to 78 years). There were 57 men and 34 women.
The preoperative risk factors that include beyond the 50% of total patients were male sex, obesity, hypo-high-density lipoproteinemia, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, hyper-low-density lipoproteinemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension.
Preoperatively 27 patients had stable angina pectoris and 39 patients of unstable angina pectoris. Twenty five patients had previous myocardial infarction history. The patterns of disease were 8 patients of single vessel involvement, 18 patients
of
double vessel involvement, 54 patients of triple vessel involvement and 11` patients of left main coronary artery disease. Fifty five patients were in Canadian Cardiovascular society functional class Ⅲ. Myocardial revascularization was performed
under
emergency conditions in 5 patients. Nine percent of patients had previous PTCA history. We performed 16 cases of sequential anastomosis, internal mammary artery harvest in 86 percent of total patients and total 284 distal anastomoses (mean 3.1
anastomosis per patient). The mean ACC time was 60.5 minutes and ECC time was mean 110 minutes. The combined surgeries were 16 cases of endarterectomy, 2 cases of LV aneurysmectomy, 1 case of Bentall operation, 1 case of repair of sinus of
Valsalva, 1
case of ligation of coronary AV fistula and 1 case of excision of breast mass. The most common complication was wound infection (12 cases, 13%). There was one hospital death due to postoperative respiratory failure and low output syndrome in
patient
with postinfarction VSD, LV aneurysm. Postoperative 88 patients were in Functional class Ⅰ or Ⅱ. The 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion scan that used as evaluation of postoperative state was well corelated with patient's symptoms instead of some
disadvantages.
