Combined coronary artery bypass grafting and cardiac valve replacements: report of 73 cases
Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical experiences and early surgical outcomes of the combined coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and cardiac valve replacement. Methods From Feb. 2002 to Dec. 2009
a total of 73 patients underwent combined valve surgery and CABG in our hospital. There were 41 males and 32 females. Coronary angiography revealed that there were 31 patients with single-vessel disease
24 with double-vessel disease and 18 with triple-vessel disease. All the patients received combined valve replacements and CABG under cardiopulmonary bypass. There were 31 patients undergoing a combination of CABG with mitral valve replacement
21 patients with aortic valve replacement
20 patients with mitral valve and aortic valve (double valve) replacement
and 1 patient with mitral valve and aortic valve and tricuspid valve (triple valve) replacement. The number of distal anastomosis was 2.52±1.21 with 15 left internalmammary arteries bypassed to left anterior descending. In 2 patients an intra-aortic balloon pump was utilized for low cardiac output syndrome. Results Three patients died within 30 d after operation. The hospital mortality was 4.1%. A 53-year-old man who had triple valve replacement and 1 graft died of ventricular fibrillation. A 62-year-old woman who had mitral valve and 3 grafts died of low cardiac output syndrome.A 66-year-old man who had mitral valve replacement and 1 graft died of cerebral infarction. The other 70 patients were discharged from hospital with improved heart function. There was no patient with perioperative myocardial infarction. Fifty-one patients were followed up from 3 months to 8 years (average 3.8 years)
and these survivors were in improved clinical condition and free of angina. Conclusion The combined operation of valve replacement and CABG is feasible and effective for patients with coexisting disease. Reliable valve replacement
complete myocardial revascularization
excellent myocardial protection and sound management of postoperative complication contribute to the success of operation.
