During a five-year period, 280 patients underwent myocardial revascularization within 60 days of having suffered an acute myocardial infarction. Eighty-six percent of them had angina. Twelve patients had calculated ejection fractions of less than 20%; 79, 21% to 40%; and 105, from 41% to 60%. Ten patients had one graft; 33, two; 74, three; and 163, four or more. Twenty-four patients had concomitant ventricular aneurysm repair. The intra-aortic balloon pump was used in only seven patients. There was one postoperative death secondary to respiratory insufficiency and sepsis, resulting in a hospital mortality of 0.4%. Myocardial revascularization is a safe procedure following recent myocardial infarction, with results comparable to elective revascularization. Our long-term results suggest that revascularization may decrease the incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007423 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping Counterpulsation in which a pumping unit synchronized with the patient's electrocardiogram rapidly fills a balloon in the aorta with helium or carbon dioxide in early diastole and evacuates the balloon at the onset of systole. As the balloon inflates, it raises aortic diastolic pressure, and as it deflates, it lowers aortic systolic pressure. The result is a decrease in left ventricular work and increased myocardial and peripheral perfusion.
