Combined Coronary Artery and Abdominal Aortic Surgery without Cardiopulmonary Bypass

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

To determine the effects of beating heart surgery on patients undergoing simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting and abdominal aortic surgery, we performed such surgery on 20 patients (mean age, 64.55 ± 7.96 SD years). Abdominal aortic disease was defined as an abdominal aortic aneurysm larger than 5 cm in diameter or as end-stage aortic occlusive disease. Hemodynamic measurements, inotropic requirements, and incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction and arrhythmias were recorded, as were subsystem clinical outcomes, length of intensive care unit and hospital stays, blood loss, and transfusion requirements.
