Preoperative Intraaortic Balloon Pump Enhances Cardiac Performance and Improves the Outcome of Redo CABG

Background. Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting (redo CABG) is associated with an increased operative risk compared with primary CABG. Because the hospital mortality in redo CABG is known to be influenced by poor left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction <=0.40), unstable angina, and left main stem stenosis greater than or equal to 70%, a preoperative intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) support could be beneficial to improve the outcome in high-risk redo CABG.

Methods. Between June 1994 and October 1996, 48 high-risk patients underwent redo CABG and were randomized into the following groups: group 1 (24 patients) who received preoperative IABP treatment on average 2 hours before cardiopulmonary bypass, and group 2 (24 patients) who received no preoperative IABP and served as controls. Mean age was 65 years and 90% (43 patients) were men. Forty-one patients had preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 0.40 (85%), 38% (18 patients) had left main stem stenosis greater than or equal to 70%, and 54% (26 patients) had unstable angina preoperatively. Preoperative patient characteristics did not differ between the groups.

Results. The time on cardiopulmonary bypass was shorter in group 1, 86 versus 110 minutes (p = 0.006). There were no hospital deaths in group 1, but four deaths occurred in the control group (p = 0.049). Cardiac index rose significantly preoperatively after introduction of the IABP in group 1. Cardiac index was significantly higher postoperatively in group 1 compared with group 2 and remained significantly higher during the first 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass. Significantly fewer patients in the IABP group had postoperative low cardiac output (4 versus 13 patients). Nine patients in group 2 required IABP support postoperatively for 4.1 ± 1.7 days. Only 2 patients in group 1 needed IABP postoperatively, and their IABPs were successfully removed on the first postoperative day. The preoperative IABP-supported patients had a shorter intensive care unit stay, 2.4 ± 0.8 days compared with group 2, 4.5 ± 2.2 days (p = 0.007), as well as a shorter hospital stay. The preoperative IABP treatment was found to be cost-effective.

Conclusions. Preoperative treatment with IABP in high-risk redo CABG patients is an effective modality to prepare these patients to have their myocardial revascularization in an as nonischemic situation as possible, which resulted in a significantly lower hospital mortality, fewer instances of postoperative low cardiac output, and shorter stays in both the intensive care unit and the hospital.
