Objective To investigate clinical outcomes and perioperative management of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).?Methods?From January 2006 to March 2010, 239 consecutive patients underwent OPCAB on the 14-27 (20.55±3.91) d following AMI(AMI group)in Renji Hospital,School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Preoperative MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase
(CK-MB) level was (15.82±6.24) U/L and cardiac troponin I(cTnI) was (0.07±0.04) ng/ml. Clinical data of 406 patients without myocardial infarction history who underwent OPCAB during the same period were also collected as the control group for comparison.?Results?The 30-day mortality of AMI group was 2.51% (6/239). The causes of death were circulatory failure in 4 patients, ischemic necrosis of lower extremity caused by intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in 1 patient and pneumonia with septic shock in 1 patient. Dopamine usage in AMI group was significantly higher than that of the control group (61.51% vs. 37.44%, P=0.001). Intraoperative or postoperative IABP implantation was more common in AMI group, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05) . Postoperative drainage and blood transfusion in AMI group were significantly larger than those of the control group (385.18±93.22 ml vs. 316.41±70.05 ml, P=0.022;373.68±69.54 ml vs. 289.78±43.33 ml, P=0.005, respectively). But there was no statistical difference in re-exploration rate between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative new onset atrial fibrillation between the two groups (P>0.05). Incidence of acute kidneyinjury of AMI group was significantly higher than that of the control group (13.81% vs. 8.62%, P=0.038). Postoperative 30-day mortality of AMI group was higher than that of the control group, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups (2.51% vs. 1.48%,P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in ICU stay time and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (2.01±0.95 d vs. 1.78±0.98 d;10.33±4.16 d vs. 9.89±4.52 d, respectively, P>0.05). A total of 211 patients (88.28%)in AMI group were followed up for 2.89±1.02 years, and 28 patients (11.72%) were lost during follow-up. Twenty-five patients died during follow-up including 14 cardiac deaths. One-year survival rate was 97.63%, and five-year survival rate was 88.15%.?Conclusion?It’s comparatively safe to perform OPCAB for patients at 2-4 weeks following AMI when their CK-MB and cTnI levels have returned to normal range.
