The influence of three methods of myocardial preservation used during coronary artery bypass grafting on operative mortality and perioperative myocardial infarction was evaluated in seven institutions participating in the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS). Both operative mortality and perioperative infarctions were comparable with either normothermic and topical hypothermic myocardial preservation. The addition of potassium cardioplegia to hypothermia lowered both operative mortality and perioperative myocardial infarction (p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.001, respectively). Stepwise multivariate discriminant analysis revealed that the high-risk clinical and angiographic variables were the most important determinants of operative mortality, followed by surgical priority and the use of potassium cardioplegia. However, none of the clinical, angiographic and surgical variables other than the use of potassium cardioplegia influenced the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction.
