[Acute and delayed aortocoronary bypass operations following transluminal angioplasty].
Since 1980 348 PTCAs and 1288 CABs were performed at our institution (relation 1:4). In 15 cases (4.3%) emergency CAB was necessary because of complications encountered with PTCA. Two patients died, i.e. a mortality rate of 43.3% out of the emergency CABs or 0.6% out of the PTCA group; in 46.6% myocardial infarction occurred. In the same period 12 patients received CAB because of unsuccessful PTCA after a mean time of 4.6 months without increased operative morbidity. Interdisciplinary indication and experience, operation permanence and temporary coronary perfusion may decrease the complication rate.
