TI  - Early outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with unstable 
      angina.
PG  - 283-5
AB  - BACKGROUND: Unstable angina is a common cause of admission to hospitals. There is 
      conflicting evidence on the need and success of urgent coronary revascularization 
      in such cases. This study was conducted to evaluate the early post-operative 
      morbidity and mortality of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) in patients 
      with unstable angina. METHODS: This cross sectional descriptive study was 
      conducted at Choudry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan. The data of 
      the all the patients who had undergone CABG for unstable angina, between February 
      2009 and March 2010, was collected and analysed. RESULTS: Total 35 patients of 
      unstable angina had undergone CABG (M=29, F=6). Mean age was 58.25+/-9.62. Sixty 
      five percent of the patients were from New York Heart Association (NYHA) 
      class-IV. Regarding pre-operative risk factors, 35% had diabetes mellitus (DM), 
      22% had previous Myocardial infarction (MI), 3% had pulmonary Hypertension, 3% 
      had uncontrolled hyperlipidemia, 40% had positive history of smoking, 17% had 
      positive family history of IHD and 82% had triple vessel disease. None of the 
      patients died. Mild ionotropic support was required in 48% of the patients. Two 
      patients had acute confusional state; none of the patients had stroke or renal 
      failure requiring dialysis. However 4 patients had disturbed renal profile. 
      Pulmonary complications occurred in one patient. CONCLUSION: Coronary artery 
      bypass surgery in patients with unstable angina has comparable morbidity and 
      mortality in our setup and should be performed where indicated
