[Combined CABG and valve operation].
We presented 20 patients, who were underwent combined valve and coronary artery bypass surgery in our institute from September 1995 to December 1999. They were 13 male and 7 female, ages ranged from 54 to 79 (mean 67.5 years). Previous cardiac operation was done in 2 cases. The patients carried out a combination of CABG with aortic valve replacement (n = 9), mitral valve replacement (n = 4), mitral valve plasty (n = 6), double valve replacement (n = 1). Emergency operation was performed in 2 cases. The hospital mortality was 5%. One patient who was underwent mitral valve repair and CABG died due to severe heart failure 2 week post operatively. The perioperative complications were found in 2 patients, one was acute renal failure with HD, the other was cerebral infarction. There are no patient with perioperative myocardial infarction. The combined operation of valvular surgery and CABG for the patients with coexisting disease might be safety and reliable methods, even in older one.
