Late sequelae of perioperative myocardial infarction

JE Codd, RD Wiens, GC Kaiser, HB Barner, DH Tyras, JG Mudd and VL Willman

The late suquelae of myocardial injury occurring at the time of direct myocardial revascularization are unknown. Fifty of 500 consecutive patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass grafting developed both electrocardiographic and enzymatic evidence of myocardial injury. They were matched with 50 patients of similar age, sex, history of previous infarction, severity of angina, degree of coronary arteriosclerosis, and level of ventricular function as determined by preoperative angiographic studies. The conduct of the operation was identical in each group except for prolongation of total cross-clamp time in those patients with myocardial injury. The total number of vessels grafted, the conduit used, and the operative mean graft flow were similar. Results of treadmill stress testing at 24 to 36 months were not significantly different between groups. Angina status, long-term survival, graft patency, and ventricular function were not adversely affected by intraoperative myocardial injury. However, postoperative ventricular function and stress test performance were related to graft patency.
