Background. Should coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) be performed in patients on long-term dialysis? This subject has been debated for several years. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients who had CABG from August 1989 to October 1997.

Methods. We identified 70 patients who were on long-term dialysis and had CABG during that time period. Patients were evaluated by chart review and telephone survey. Forty-nine patients (70%) had unstable angina and 37 patients (52%) had triple vessel disease. Patient risk factors included 60 patients with hypertension (85%), 40 patients with diabetes mellitus (57%), 35 patients who had congestive heart failure (50%), 35 patients who had a previous myocardial infarction (50%), and 31 smokers (44%). Operative procedures included 49 patients who had CABG only and 21 patients who had concomitant CABG with valve replacement or repair. During the postoperative period, complications developed in 50% of patients.

Results. Review of these complications showed that 25% of patients required prolonged mechanical ventilation, and 10% of patients had septicemia. Operative mortality was high, with 10 patient deaths (14.3%) within 30 days of the procedure. Six (60%) of these deaths occurred in patients who had CABG and valve repair or replacement. Long-term follow up at 50.3 months showed no improvement in survival in patients who had CABG compared with the known mortality rate of 22% per year in dialysis patients regardless of comorbid conditions. Quality of life subjectively improved in only 41% of patients in follow-up telephone survey.

Conclusions. Patients requiring long-term dialysis with coexistent severe cardiac disease should be thoroughly evaluated preoperatively. One must weigh the high morbidity and mortality risk against the limited long-term resolution of angina and ultimate survival.
