Description
Summary:To assess the efficacy and safety of cardiopulmonary bypass during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in dialysis patients. Sixty four isolated CABG patients who underwent on cardiopulmonary bypass and whose intraoperative body weight gains were accurately measured were studied retrospectively. The mean intraoperative body weight gain was 2.61 +/- 0.9 kg/m2 in the study group and 1.06 +/- 0.6 kg/m2 in controls, i.e.) 100 patients selected at random from CABG patients during the same period using cardiopulmonary bypass without chronic renal faulure, showing a statistically significant difference. Complete revascularization was successful in 98% of patients. Postoperative nonlethal complications involved brain infarction in 1 patient (1.7%), reintubation in 1 (1.7%), and paralytic ileus in 2 (3.4%). All were successfully extubated within 24 hours of surgery, and no sternal wound complications were found. Hospital mortality was 6.3% (4/64). Actuarial survival rates at 3, 5 and 8 years including all deaths were 90%, 70% and 56%, and estimated by cardiac deaths were 95%, 90%, and 90% respectively. Cardiac event free rates were 90%, 73% and 61% at 3, 5 and 8 years after CABG. In CABG for dialysis patients, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass demonstrates significant merits, and may expect long-term survival with minimal postoperative complications.
