Despite the increasing safety of homologous blood transfusion, concerns surrounding viral transmission during transfusion remain. The trials excluded patients in whom survival had already been shown to be longer with bypass surgery than with medical therapy. Predictors of the recurrence of angina, late MI, or any cardiac event also include obesity and lack of use of an internal mammary artery, as well as those factors identified above. The use of bilateral internal mammary arteries appears to be safe and efficacious. (Survival benefit is greater in patients with abnormal LV function; eg, with an EF <0.50. Cardiac rehabilitation has a highly beneficial effect in patients who are moderately or severely depressed. 4. Risk factors for blood transfusion after CABG include advanced age, low preoperative red blood cell volume, preoperative aspirin therapy, urgent operation, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, recent thrombolytic therapy, reoperation, and differences in heparin management. Secondary analysis revealed that in treated diabetic patients in the BARI trials, CABG led to significantly superior survival compared with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Table 10. An aggressive approach to the management of patients with severely diseased ascending aortas identified by intraoperative echocardiographic imaging reduces the risk of postoperative stroke. A higher proportion of rehabilitated patients are working at 3 years after CABG. Contact Us, A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines (Committee to Revise the 1991 Guidelines for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery). Among patients with a preoperative creatinine level >2.5 mg/dL, 40% to 50% require hemodialysis. 71-0173. Progressive LV pump failure with coronary stenosis compromising viable myocardium outside the initial infarct area. Please refer to Table 7 in the full text of these guidelines (J Am Coll Cardiol. A coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) isn't a cure for heart disease, ... Read more about the physical activity guidelines for adults (19 to 64). Additional variables that are related to mortality include coronary angioplasty during index admission; recent myocardial infarction (MI); history of angina, ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or mitral regurgitation; and comorbidities such as diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and renal dysfunction. 142, Issue 16_suppl_1, October 20, 2020: Vol. Although there has been some concern that aprotinin may reduce early graft patency, recent studies have failed to document this effect. Predictors of renal dysfunction include advanced age, a history of moderate or severe congestive heart failure, prior bypass surgery, type 1 diabetes, and prior renal disease. Patients with unknown low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels after bypass should have cholesterol levels determined and treated pharmacologically if the LDL exceeds 100 mg/dL. Ischemia in the non-LAD distribution with a patent internal mammary graft to the LAD supplying functioning myocardium and without an aggressive attempt at medical management and/or percutaneous revascularization. By 15 years, it was estimated that two thirds of patients originally assigned to medical therapy and who survived would have had surgery.

Vigorous scrutiny of the long-term benefits versus risks of port access is required. The new guidelines also stress the importance of statin and beta blocker therapy in all post- CABG patients, as well as anticoagulation with warfarin in patients who develop sustained abnormal heart rhythms after bypass. A sustained-release form of bupropion, an antidepressant similar to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, reduces the nicotine craving and anxiety of smokers who quit. Data suggest that the need for reoperation is less common in patients undergoing internal mammary artery grafting to the LAD. Observational studies have suggested that MID-CAB is associated with a reduced average length of stay and an earlier return to work. Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology (ATVB), Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA), Customer Service and Ordering Information, November 17, 2020: Vol. 2. 1. One- or 2-vessel disease not involving the proximal LAD.†2. Additional strategies can reduce the transfusion requirement after CABG. Recently, the radial artery has been used more frequently as a conduit for coronary bypass surgery. A single reprint of the executive summary and recommendations is available by calling 800-242-8721 (US only) or writing the American Heart Association, Public Information, 7272 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75231-4596. Aprotinin, a serum protease inhibitor with antifibrinolytic activity, also decreases postoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements in high-risk patients. Table 2. Patients having angioplasty returned to work sooner and were able to exercise more at 1 month. Predictors of cerebral complications after bypass surgery include advanced age and a history of hypertension. Newer modalities of cardioprotection during cardiopulmonary bypass were not used, nor were minimally invasive or off-bypass techniques. Total Mortality at 5 and 10 Years. Important components of “fast-track” care are careful patient selection, patient and family education, early extubation, prophylactic antiarrhythmic therapy, dietary considerations, early ambulation, early outpatient telephone follow-up, and careful coordination with other physicians and healthcare providers. In 2015, the AHA published a scientific statement on secondary prevention after CABG with the following recommendations{ref131}: Administer aspirin within 6 hours after CABG in … Postoperative atrial fibrillation increases the length of stay, cost, and most important, the risk of stroke. Patients with advanced preoperative renal dysfunction who undergo CABG surgery have an extraordinarily high rate of requiring postoperative dialysis. 2. Patient selection had primarily included individuals ≤65 years of age, very few included large cohorts of women, and for the most part, the studies evaluated patients at low risk who were clinically stable. If angina is not typical, objective evidence of ischemia should be obtained. This is due to an immunosuppressive effect of transfusion. Preoperative central nervous system symptoms suggestive of vertebral basilar insufficiency should lead to an evaluation before elective CABG. It is generally believed that a delay of 4 weeks or more after a cerebrovascular accident is prudent, if coronary anatomy and symptoms permit, before proceeding with CABG. J Am Coll Cardiol. The release of microemboli during extracorporeal circulation, involving small gaseous or lipid emboli, may be responsible. Five-year patency appears to be in the range of 85% (compared with nearly 90% for the internal mammary graft). First, withdrawal of preoperative β-blockers in the postoperative period doubles the risk of atrial fibrillation after CABG. Table 3. Ongoing ischemia not responsive to maximal nonsurgical therapy. The presence of clinical and subclinical peripheral vascular disease is a strong predictor of increased hospital and long-term mortality rates in patients undergoing CABG. Another method to reduce the inflammatory response is perioperative leukocyte depletion through hematologic filtration. Half of the patients approached were ineligible owing to left main coronary artery disease, insufficient symptoms, or other reasons. Treatment individualized to the patient is crucial. An important predictor of this complication is the surgeon’s identification of a severely atherosclerotic, ascending aorta before or during the bypass operation. The benefits of bilateral internal mammary artery use include lower rates of recurrent angina, MI, and need for reoperation and a trend for better survival. The shortest in-hospital postoperative stays are followed by the fewest rehospitalizations. 1. Operative survival and long-term benefit of reoperative CABG are distinctly inferior to first-time operations. Thus, some institutions and practitioners maintain excellent outcomes despite relatively low volumes. 1999;34:1262–1341. Seven core variables (priority of operation, age, prior heart surgery, sex, left ventricular [LV] ejection fraction [EF], percent stenosis of the left main coronary artery, and number of major coronary arteries with significant stenoses) are the most consistent predictors of mortality after coronary artery surgery. Med Lett Drugs Ther. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors were not being routinely used in patients with congestive heart failure or dilated cardiomyopathy. | Sort by Date Showing results 1 to 20. Het risico op een beroerte bij CABG en een carotisstenose. The efficacy of physiotherapy techniques used for patients following uncomplicated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is well documented. (3) Vuorisalo S, Pokela R, Syrjala H. Comparison of vancomycin and cefuroxime for infection prophylaxis in coronary artery bypass surgery. 1999;100:1464-1480. Data regarding the benefit of cholesterol lowering after bypass surgery are most supported by studies that have used HMG CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A) reductase inhibitors, particularly targeting LDL levels to <100 mg/dL. Unfortunately, aprotinin is relatively expensive. Three-vessel disease with proximal LAD stenosis in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function 5. Door een extra bloedvat aan te leggen en een aansluiting te maken op het vernauwde bloedvat komt er weer genoeg bloed en zuurstof in de hartspier. Compared with conventional CABG, median sternotomy is avoided. Patients undergoing repeated CABG have higher rates of postoperative bleeding, perioperative MI, and neurological and pulmonary complications. Primary reperfusion late (≥12 hours) in evolving ST-segment elevation MI without ongoing ischemia. 3. Subgroup Analysis of 5-Year Mortality by Risk Stratum. The most notable improvement has been the introduction of intracoronary stents that have reduced late restenosis and the frequency with which emergency bypass surgery is required after PTCA. These begin with interval reporting to individual surgeons regarding their respective wound infection rates and adherence to sterile operative techniques. Nevertheless, in the years that follow surgery, CABG patients remain at risk for subsequent ischemic events as a result of native coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and the development of vein graft atherosclerosis. Finally, medically assigned patients crossed over to surgery late, thus allowing the highest-risk medically assigned patients to gain from the benefit of surgery later in the course of follow-up. You'll usually need to stay in hospital for around 7 days after having a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) so medical staff can closely monitor your recovery. The benefit of CABG compared with medical therapy in various clinical subsets is presented below. Cephalosporins are currently the agents of choice. A variety of studies of CABG have found the technique to be cost-effective in patients for whom survival and/or symptomatic benefit is demonstrable. Institutional protocols that establish minimum thresholds for transfusion lead to a reduced number of units transfused and the percentage of patients requiring blood. Bypassable 1- or 2-vessel disease causing life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.‡3, 2. Of these events, the return of angina is the most common and is primarily related to late vein-graft atherosclerosis and occlusion. Guideline Series: Blood Glucose Management ... (CABG) patients. Currently, “less-invasive” CABG surgery can be divided into 3 categories: (1) off-bypass CABG performed through a median sternotomy with a smaller skin incision, (2) minimally invasive direct CABG (MID-CAB) performed through a left anterior thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass, and (3) port-access CABG with femoral-to-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest with limited incision. 71-0173. One approach to reduce this risk is the performance of preoperative, transesophageal echocardiography. ( Lee et al, 2001) Sleep disturbances is another big postoperative complication The purpose of a 1996 Schafer et al study was to describe the nature and frequency of sleep pattern disturbances in patients post coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery. All smokers should receive educational counseling and be offered smoking cessation therapy after CABG (Table 10). Disabling angina despite maximal medical therapy, when surgery can be performed with acceptable risk. Adverse cerebral outcomes are observed in ≈6% of patients after bypass surgery and are equally divided between type 1 and type 2 deficits. Ask for reprint No. Figure 1. The right coronary artery can be approached by using a right anterior thoracotomy. Miguel Sousa-Uva*, Stuart J Head, Milan Milojevic, Jean-Philippe Collet, Giovanni Landoni, Manuel Castella, Joel Dunning, Tómas Gudbjartsson, Nick J Linker, Elena Sandoval, Matthias Thielmann, Anders Jeppsson, Ulf Landmesser*, 2017 EACTS Guidelines on perioperative medication in adult cardiac surgery, European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, Volume 53, Issue 1, January … Controversy continues to exist regarding the ideal blood pressure (BP) for patients with CAD and those recovering from CABG. One- or 2-vessel disease not involving significant proximal LAD stenosis, in patients (1) who have mild symptoms that are unlikely due to myocardial ischemia or have not received an adequate trial of medical therapy and (A) have only a small area of viable myocardium or (B) have no demonstrable ischemia on noninvasive testing. However, a recent analysis of ≈60 000 patients who were treated in New York State in the early 1990s provides a 3-year survival analysis of patients undergoing CABG and PTCA. Circulation. reported that the addition of clopidogrel to aspirin lowered the risk of vein graft occlusion by 41% (p = 0.02), but at the cost of significantly more major bleeding events, compared with aspirin alone.10 Importantly, this benefit for dual antiplatelet therapy appeared to be applicable only to patients undergoing off-pump CABG.10 For the majority of patients who undergo on-pump surgery in the current era, aspirin alone is currently recommended.2-3, Given the limited benefits noted with postoperative clopidogrel, several trials have been initiated to evaluate ticagrelor and prasugrel after CABG. Predictors of important carotid stenosis include advanced age, female sex, known peripheral vascular disease, previous transient ischemic attack or stroke, a history of smoking, and left main coronary artery disease. Reprinted with permission from Managano CM, Diamondstone LS, Ramsay JG, Aggarwal A, Herskowitz A, Managano DT. A variety of measures have been tried to reduce the systemic consequences of cardiopulmonary bypass, which elicits a diffuse inflammatory response that may cause transient or prolonged multisystem organ dysfunction. Contrariwise, patients with 1-vessel disease not involving the proximal LAD had improved survival with PTCA. A post-operative serum glucose level ( 250 mg/dL) was associated with a 10-fold increase in complications. The referral physician needs to provide clear, written reports of the findings and recommendations to the primary care physician, including discharge medications and dosages along with long-term goals. Table 6. High-risk patients often benefit from preoperative antibiotics, bronchodilator therapy, a period of cessation from smoking, perioperative incentive spirometry, deep-breathing exercises, and chest physiotherapy. Prophylactic Antimicrobials for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. Although the patency data were striking, the study should be interpreted with caution because there was no blinding or placebo control, and several major bleeding events occurred among subjects who received ticagrelor. Of the 953 subjects, 345 (36.2%) received clopidogrel post CABG prior to discharge. 5. This was even more striking in patients with depressed LV function. Depression may be an important complicating factor and should be approached with behavioral and drug therapy. Patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are at particular risk for postoperative arrhythmias that may be fatal. Table 5. As with other ACC/AHA guidelines, this document uses ACC/AHA classifications I, II, and III as summarized below: Class I: Conditions for which there is evidence and/or general agreement that a given procedure or treatment is useful and effective. Outcome reporting in the form of risk-adjusted mortality rates after bypass has been effective in reducing mortality rates nationwide. Patients with class III or IV angina, those with more proximal and severe LAD stenosis, those with worse LV function, and/or those with more positive stress tests derived more benefit from surgery. 1999;33:67. Table 7 summarizes survival data from the New York State registry with respect to various cohorts of patients undergoing angioplasty or bypass surgery. Transesophageal echocardiography is useful for aortic arch examination, but examination of the ascending aorta may be limited by the intervening trachea. Observational studies showing a poorer survival effect of PTCA in patients with more advanced disease suggest that there may be a significant cost gradient for PTCA as the extent of disease increases, which is not apparent for coronary bypass surgery. CHF indicates prior congestive heart failure; Reop, redo coronary bypass operation; DM, type 1 diabetes mellitus; Creat >1.4, preoperative serum creatinine level >1.4 mg/dL; n, observed number of patients within each clinical stratum; −, risk factor absent; and +, risk factor present. In patients with ACS (NSTE-ACS or STEMI) being treated with DAPT who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), P2Y 12 inhibitor therapy should be resumed after CABG to complete 12 months of DAPT therapy after ACS (Class I). Thus, hormone replacement therapy should be considered in postmenopausal women after bypass when, in the physician’s judgment, the potential coronary benefit is not offset by an increased risk of uterine or breast cancer. In particular, evidence of a hemorrhagic component based on computed tomographic scan identifies high risk for the extension of neurological damage with cardiopulmonary bypass. coronary artery spasm, coronary embolism, anemia, arrhythmias, hypertension, or hypotensionType 3 … Since the original Guidelines were published in 1991, there has been considerable evolution in the surgical approach to coronary disease, and at the same time there have been advances in preventive, medical, and percutaneous catheter approaches to therapy. The document is published on the Web sites of the American College of Cardiology at http://www.acc. Effect of coronary artery bypass graft surgery on survival: overview of 10-year results from randomised trials by the Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Trialists Collaboration. Although this risk is not necessarily higher than that with medical therapy, it has led to the argument to consider angioplasty or to delay CABG in such patients if medical stabilization can be easily accomplished. 3. 1999;34:1276). J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. Thecause of these persistent effusions is unknown, and the histology of the pleural changes has seldom been reported. Three-vessel disease. The intent is to treat reversible problems that may contribute to respiratory insufficiency in high-risk patients, with the hope of avoiding prolonged periods of mechanical ventilation after CABG. Class IIb: Usefulness/efficacy is less well established by evidence/opinion. The use of a prophylactic intra-aortic balloon pump as an adjunct to myocardial protection may reduce mortality in patients having CABG in the setting of severe LV dysfunction (eg, LVEF <0.25). Multidisciplinary approaches to conserve blood in single institutions appear to be effective. Low proportion of red blood cells (low hematocrit levels) 4Planned 5-year follow-up (interim results). Cardiac rehabilitation reinforces pharmacological therapy and smoking cessation and should be offered to all eligible patients after CABG. Customer Service Approximately 2 years ago, we launched the Ticagrelor Antiplatelet Therapy to Reduce Graft Events and Thrombosis (TARGET) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02053909) to evaluate the potential benefits of ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily, compared with aspirin 81 mg twice daily, on 1- and 2-year graft patency after CABG.15 Given the greater risks of bleeding associated with dual antiplatelet therapy, ticagrelor monotherapy may offer the best balance of safety and benefit, with a lower bleeding complication rate compared with dual antiplatelet therapy and an anticipated improved efficacy over aspirin alone.15. organization. Table 9 provides a review of pharmacological approaches in the randomized trials. In patients for whom mammary artery, radial artery, and standard vein conduits are unavailable, the in situ right gastroepiploic artery, the inferior epigastric free artery graft, and either lesser saphenous or upper-extremity vein conduits have been used. Nevertheless, lower BP goals will likely be recommended in upcoming guideline statements based on the impressive results of this trial. For detailed information concerning probability value data, please see Table 8 in the full text of these guidelines (J Am Coll Cardiol. Pharmacological Strategies for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. To obtain a reprint of the complete guidelines published in the October 1999 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, ask for reprint No. If deep sternal wound infection does occur, aggressive surgical debridement and early vascularized muscle flap coverage are the most effective methods for treatment, along with long-term systemic antibiotics. Vascular access for cardiopulmonary bypass is achieved via the femoral artery and vein. 1999;34:1275) for detailed information concerning the trials listed here in column 1. Retraction techniques may elevate the heart to allow access to vessels on the lateral and inferior surfaces of the heart. 1. 2. Most of the trials did not have a long-term follow-up, ie, 5 to 10 years, and therefore were unable to provide clear inferences regarding long-term benefit of the 2 techniques in similar populations. 2. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Task Force on Practice Guidelines was formed to make recommendations regarding the appropriate use of diagnostic tests and therapies for patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. Other opportunities that exist to improve the long-term clinical outcomes after CABG include the aggressive management of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, smoking cessation, weight loss, and cardiac rehabilitation. To make photocopies for personal or educational use, call the Copyright Clearance Center, 978-750-8400. The best defense against right ventricular dysfunction is its recognition during preoperative evaluation. 1. Because CABG is associated with variable degrees of postoperative respiratory insufficiency, it is important to identify patients at particular risk for pulmonary complications. These will be removed as you get better. Reprinted with permission from the New York State Registry as published in Hannan EL, Racz MJ, McCallister BD, Ryan TJ, Arani DT, Isom OW, Jones RH. For details about the trials from which these data were derived, please refer to Table 13 of the full text of these guidelines (J Am Coll Cardiol. Three-Year Survival by Treatment in Each Anatomic Subgroup. The decision about who should undergo preoperative carotid screening is controversial. Cardiac rehabilitation, including early ambulation during hospitalization, outpatient prescriptive exercise, family education, and dietary and sexual counseling, has been shown to improve outcomes after CABG. For patients without exclusions, such as low hemoglobin values, heart failure, unstable angina, left main coronary artery disease, or advanced anginal symptoms, self-donation of 1 to 3 units of red blood cells over 30 days before operation reduces the need for homologous transfusion during or after operation. Maintenance of appropriate and timely communication between treating physicians regarding care of the patient is crucial. Efficacy is dependent on adequate drug tissue levels before microbial exposure. A comparison of three-year survival after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Many of such patients have diabetes and other coronary risk factors, including hypertension, myocardial dysfunction, abnormal lipids, anemia, and increased plasma homocysteine levels. Patients with treated LDL cholesterol should have their low-fat diet and cholesterol-lowering medications continued after bypass surgery to reduce subsequent graft attrition. (Survival benefit is greater when LVEF is <0.50.). While moderate to severe degrees of obstructive pulmonary disease represent a significant risk factor for early mortality and morbidity after CABG, it is also true that with careful preoperative assessment and treatment of the underlying pulmonary abnormality, many such patients are successfully carried through the operative procedure. “ACC/AHA Guidelines for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Executive Summary and Recommendations: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines (Committee to Revise the 1991 Guidelines for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery)” was approved by the American College of Cardiology Board of Trustees in March 1999 and by the American Heart Association Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee in July 1999. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is among the most common operations performed in the world and accounts for more resources expended in cardiovascular medicine than any other single procedure. The patient and physician together must explore the potential benefits of improved quality of life with the attendant risks of surgery versus alternative therapies that take into account baseline functional capacities and patient preferences. These include slowing the heart with β-blockers and calcium channel blockers and use of a mechanical stabilizing device to isolate and stabilize the target vessel. The indication for performing coronary and vein graft angiography in patients with CABG is similar to the patients without bypass surgery. Registry studies have shown a reduction in late MI among highest-risk patients, such as those with 3-vessel disease, and/or those with severe angina. Although preoperative spirometry directed to identifying patients with a low (eg, <1 L) 1-second forced expiratory volume has been used by some to qualify or disqualify candidates for CABG, clinical evaluation of lung function is likely as important if not more so. In pooled analyses, a benefit on the incidence of MI was not evident. However, a significantly higher risk of bleeding was seen in the dual antiplatelet arm of this study (minor bleeding requiring medical intervention: 31.4% vs. 2.9%, ticagrelor plus aspirin vs. aspirin alone, p = 0.003).13, Most recently, Zhao et al. performed a placebo-controlled study, randomizing 70 patients to ticagrelor plus aspirin or aspirin alone for 3 months following surgery.13 Patency was assessed for 56 patients (a small sample size), and the authors noted a significant reduction in vein graft disease with the combination of ticagrelor and aspirin (graft occlusion or stenosis: 11.5% vs. 26.7% ticagrelor plus aspirin vs. aspirin alone, p = 0.007). Patients with severe LV dysfunction have increased perioperative and long-term mortality compared with patients with normal LV function. 2Stepwise risk score=(0.015×age)+(0.56×presence of class III/IV angina)+(0.35×history of myocardial infarction)+(0.62×abnormal ejection fraction)+(0.53×proximal lesion >50% in the left anterior descending coronary artery)+(0.29×right coronary artery lesion >50%)+(0.43×history of diabetes)+(0.37×history of hypertension).
