Early myocardial revascularization for postinfarction angina.

R N Jones, R Pifarré, H J Sullivan

    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    |August 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within 30 days of myocardial infarction is effective for postinfarction angina. However, early CABG (within 7 days) carries higher mortality, especially in patients with shock.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Postinfarction angina is a serious complication following myocardial infarction.
    • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a treatment option for persistent angina.
    • The optimal timing for CABG after myocardial infarction is a critical consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CABG for postinfarction angina when performed within 30 days of infarction.
    • To identify any specific patient groups or timeframes associated with increased risk.

    Main Methods:

    • A consecutive series of 107 patients underwent CABG for postinfarction angina between 1983 and 1984.
    • Patients were grouped based on the timing of CABG relative to infarction: within 7 days (Group 1), 8-15 days (Group 2), and 16-30 days (Group 3).

  • Data on medication requirements, intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) use, in-hospital and late mortality, and functional status at follow-up were collected.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall, 59% of patients required intravenous nitroglycerin and/or IABP for angina relief prior to or during CABG.
    • In-hospital mortality rates were 10.5% in Group 1, 8% in Group 2, and 6.8% in Group 3.
    • Patients requiring IABP for hemodynamic stability had a higher mortality risk if CABG was performed within 7 days of infarction.
    • At a mean follow-up of 29.4 months, 86% of patients were asymptomatic or in New York Heart Association Functional Class I.

    Conclusions:

    • CABG can be safely performed within 30 days of acute myocardial infarction for postinfarction angina with good long-term outcomes.
    • Performing CABG within 7 days of infarction, particularly in patients with shock, is associated with increased mortality.
    • Careful patient selection and timing are crucial for optimizing outcomes in CABG for postinfarction angina.
