abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the TCM syndrome differentiation rules in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients during peri-operation period.
  
  
  METHODS
  According to the Guideline for Clinical Trail of Traditional Chinese New Drugs and experience of Professor DENG Tie-tao, the standard of TCM syndrome differentiation for CABG patients was established, with which 161 CABG patients were classified before and two weeks after CABG operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Before CABG, the qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome type was the type most commonly seen (46.0%), the next in turn was the phlegm stagnation type (24.8%), the yang-qi deficiency type (15.5%), and the yin-blood deficiency type (13.7%). While after CABG, the phlegm stagnation syndrome type was the most frequently occurred one (35.9%), then in turn was the yang-qi deficiency type (30.8%), the yin-blood deficiency type (21.2%) and the qi stagnation with blood stasis type (12.2%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For patients before CABG, the pathological characteristic is mostly the deficiency in root with excess in superficiality, and the commonest syndrome is the qi stagnation with blood stasis type. For patients after CABG, both deficiency and excess is the pathological characteristic, the Xin-qi and Xin-yang deficiency syndrome the commonest type, and with phlegm as the main pathologic factor.
