title: [Late results of coronary bypass grafting in patients with concomitant multifocal arteriosclerotic vascular diseases].
abstract: Late results of coronary bypass graftings (CABG) in the patients with multifocal arteriosclerotic vascular diseases were reviewed. Between September 1978 and July 1989, 819 consecutive patients underwent CABG. There were 693 males and 126 females, mean ages 58 +/- 8.5 years. Of 819 consecutive patients underwent CABG, 95 patients had the coexistence of multifocal atherosclerosis (Group A). Seventy two patients had aortoiliac or femoropopliteal disease, and 29 patients had aortic aneurysm. The remaining 724 patients had no coexistence of multifocal atherosclerosis (Group B). The mean follow-up periods was 4.0 +/- 2.1 years, and the follow-up ratio was 99.4%. The 5- and 10-year survival rates were 80% and 52% in group A, and 92% and 82% in Group B, respectively. The 5- and 10-year free ratio from cardiac events were 79% and 42% in Group A, and 85% and 61% in Group B, respectively. The 5- and 10-year free ratio from noncardiac events were 53% and 38% in Group A, and 85% and 76% in Group B, respectively. The results showed that the coexistence of multifocal atherosclerotic vascular disease in patients underwent CABG significantly increase the ratio of noncardiac and cardiac events, and decreased life expectancy.
