To assess the changing trends in patient profiles, operative indications and techniques, and their impact on the results of reoperative myocardial revascularization, we reviewed the records of 750 consecutive patients who had an isolated first reoperation for coronary artery disease at the Massachusetts General Hospital from 1977 to 1992. The patients were chronologically grouped into three equal cohorts of 250 patients. Our assessment over time revealed a significantly (p < 0.03) increased incidence of the following: older age, peripheral vascular disease, grafts at the first revascularization, longer operative interval, interval infarctions and angioplasties, and congestive heart failure and unstable angina requiring greater use of preoperative intraaortic balloon pumping. At catheterization significantly more left main coronary disease, lower ejection fractions, and more patent but diseased grafts were found. The reoperations were significantly done more urgently, with more grafts placed and a greater use of mammary artery grafting. Despite these increased risks over time, median postoperative hospital stay was significantly shortened (p < 0.001), though hospital mortality (5.3%) and perioperative myocardial infarction (63%) did not change significantly. Significant multivariate predictors of hospital death were nonelective operation, perioperative myocardial infarction, prior myocardial infarction, and mammary artery grafting at the initial operation.
