“…En series internacionales actuales la cirugía sin CEC representa aproximadamente 15 a 20% de los pacientes operados 31 . En nuestro equipo se adoptó la técnica de la cirugía sin CEC a mediados de la década pasada y se aumentó progresivamente su uso en pacientes de mayor riesgo quirúrgico y con mayor número de vasos enfermos 32,33 . En nuestra serie se operaron sin CEC 29,2% de los pacientes.…”
Early and late results of coronary artery bypass grafting in coronary artery disease in Concepcion, Chile Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the best treatment for a large group of patients with coronary artery disease. Aim: To describe early and late results of patients treated with CABG at our Center. Patients and Methods: Revision of data bases, surgical protocols and clinical registers of patients operated between January 2006 and December 2008. Results: Of 1.003 cardiac surgeries performed during the period, 658 corresponded to isolated CABG (78% in men). The median age of patients was 62 years. Left common coronary artery lesions was found in 135 cases (20%), 555 patients (84%) had hypertension and 231 (35%) were diabetics. Four-hundred thirty (65%) had stable angina and 211 (32%) had a recent myocardial infarction. Twenty-two had left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%. In 248 (38%), a low Additive EuroSCORE risk was found. Emergency surgery was required in 36 (6%) patients. Use of extracorporeal circulation was required in 466 patients (71%). Within 30 days of surgery, complications were recorded in 105 patients (16%) (15 (2%) stroke, 14 (2%) myocardial infarction, 7 (1%) mediastinitis, and in 14 (2%) a reoperation for bleeding). Thirteen patients died (2%). Among the 303 patients with stable angina and preserved left ventricular function, two died (0,7%). Survival at 1, 3 and 5 years was 97,4%, 93,8% y 90,9% respectively. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events at five years occurred in 20%, stroke in 4%, myocardial infarction in 3% and reintervention in 2%. Seven percent of patients had recurrence of angina. Conclusions: We describe a heterogeneous series of patients. The immediate and late results are comparable with international communications.

While the results do not show a marked preservation of the microcirculation during and after OPCABG compared to ONCABG, they coincide with the body temperature fluctuations of each group during and after surgery. Our work suggests that active warming could impact the microcirculation parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
