title: [Emergency coronary artery bypass grafting for ischemic heart disease].
abstract: Between June, 1988 and May 1998, 524 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass in our institution. The 74 patients who underwent CABG on emergency surgery were subjected in this study. Age was ranged 33 to 89 years (mean 65 +/- 1.1; 50 male, 24 female). Of 74 cases, 52 cases underwent emergency CABG due to UAP, and 22 cases were AMI. The hospital mortality rate in 74 cases was 19% (15/74) and 2.4% (11/450) in patients who had scheduled CABG (p < 0.0001). Mortality rate in AMI group was 41% (9/22) and 9.6% (5/52) in UAP (p < 0.005). Number of patients aged 75 years or elder was 14 (19%) in emergency CABG, and 43 (8.9%) in scheduled CABG (p < 0.05). To improve the operative results of emergency CABG, it is important to reduce the number of emergency CABG in elderly, by the careful diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment as same as in younger patient.
