[Results of endarterectomy combined with angioplasty in aortocoronary bypass].
From January 1989 until April 1990, 472 consecutive patients were operated for coronary artery bypass grafting. The patients were classified into three different groups. In group I, 412 patients were operated without endarterectomy. Group II consisted of 37 cases operated with endarterectomy-bypass to 41 vessels. Group III consisted of 23 cases of endarterectomy combined with patch-plastybypass to 24 vessels. The length of the segment endarterectomized was 25 to 70 mm (mean 37.86 +/- 12.18 mm). Peri-operative myocardial infarction occurred in 19 cases in group I (4.61%), 6 cases in group II (16.21%), and 3 cases in group III (13.04%). The percentage of IABP utilization was 2.91% in group I; 10.81% in group II; 8.69% in group III. The hospital mortality for group I, group II and group III was 3.88%; 8.10% and 8.69%. Mean follow-up was 16.4 months for 72% of patients. In 5 cases of group I (1.80%), in 8 cases of group II (27.58%) and in one case of group III (5.55%), myocardial infarction occurred in the late post-operative period. Late mortality was 1.44% for group I; 17.24% for group II and 5.55% for group III. There was no statistically significant difference between groups II and III, but the late results of group III are probably better.
