Abstract

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery bypass graft with cardiopulmonary bypass is a conventional method of operative revascularization of coronary artery disease. Because of many troubles of cardiopulmonary bypass such as systemic inflammatory reaction, mechanical trauma of blood components and coagulopathy, coronary artery bypass graft without cardiopulmonary bypass has been popularized. MATERIAL AND METHOD: From March 1999 to September 2000, 35 patients underwent CABG at our institution. Among them, 14 patients received CABG without the use of CPB and 21 patients underwent CABG with the use of CPB. Mean operative time, mean postoperative tracheal intubation time, mean ICU stay, mean hospital stay, the amount of transfusion, postoperative use of inotropic agents, and postoperative changes of cardiac enzymes were compared in both groups. RESULT: There were differences between the CABG without CPB group and CABG with CPB group with regard to mean tracheal intubation time, the amount of transfusion and the elevation of postoperative cardiac enzymes(p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
While CABG without CPB provided satisfactory results, more long term follow-up is required.
