title: [Analysis of risk factors in elderly patients with renal dysfunction undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the risk factors in the patients over 65 years old undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAG) as grouped by postoperative creatinine clearance rate (Ccr).
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 462 consecutive patients over 65 years old undergoing OPCAG from January 2007 to December 2008 were recruited. They were divided into 3 groups by renal functions: normal, minor injury and moderate-severe injury. The risk factors were analyzed by a comparison of postoperative complications, duration of intubation, stay of intensive care unit and mortality rate, et al.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no significant difference between the parameters of preoperative complications, left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricle end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and lipid level, et al. And the postoperative complications were closely related to the decrease of Ccr and the increases of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), CKMB, total bilirubin (TBIL) and LVEDD (P < 0.01 for each).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The moderate-severe renal injury (Ccr < 50 ml/min) with the abnormal levels of TBIL, BNP and LVEDD are the risk factors for a worse prognosis in OPCAG patients over 65 years old. Because of the injury of OPCAG, we should pay attention to patients with abnormal renal function (Ccr < 80 ml/min) to prevent an onset of severe complications.
