Presented at the 19th Annual San Diego Cardiothoracic Surgery Symposium "Pathophysiology and Techniques of Cardiopulmonary Bypass," San Diego, CA, Feb 18–20, 1999.
Background. Proinflammatory cytokines play a key role in the inflammatory cascade after cardiopulmonary bypass and may induce cardiac dysfunction. We compared the production of cytokines and the degree of postoperative myocardial injury in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting through median sternotomy with or without cardiopulmonary bypass.
Methods. Forty-four consecutive patients were studied. Patients were selected for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting whenever complete revascularization was technically feasible. There were no differences between the two groups with respect to age, sex, symptoms, or functional class. Plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-
, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were measured before the operation, at the end of the procedure, and 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours thereafter. Levels of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase and cardiac troponin-I were also measured after the operation.
Results. The number of grafts was 2 ± 0.7 in the off-pump group (n = 18) and 3 ± 0.8 in the cardiopulmonary bypass group (n = 26). There were no deaths or major complications in either group. Levels of tumor necrosis factor- were low in both groups. No significant intergroup differences were noted regarding serial IL-6 measurements. However, IL-8 and IL-10 levels after the operation were lower in the off-pump group (IL-8, 4 ± 1 versus 38 ± 12 pg/mL, p < 0.01; IL-10, 5 ± 2 versus 191 ± 33 pg/mL, p < 0.001). Whereas postoperative creatine kinase-MB values were similar in the two groups, cardiac troponin-I levels were significantly lower in the off-pump group (8 hours, p < 0.005; 24 hours, p < 0.02, respectively). Moreover, cardiac troponin-I values 24 hours after operation correlated strongly with IL-8 levels (r = 0.61, p < 0.005), indicating that the degree of myocardial injury may be related to IL-8 production.
Conclusions. Compared with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with reduced cytokine responses and less myocardial injury.
