Thyroid Profile

AbstractThe non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is considered a transient and completely reversible phenomenon, but it has been shown that it may last for several days postoperatively after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. This study was undertaken to assess thyroid function 6 months after uncomplicated CABG. The thyroid profile was evaluated in 40 consecutive patients undergoing CABG preoperatively, at 0, 12, 48, and 120h postoperatively, and at 6-month follow-up. Triiodothyronine (T

<p><b>Objectives:</b> Despite increasing recognition that off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery and sequential grafting strategy individually are associated with improved outcomes, concerns persist regarding the safety and efficacy of combining these 2 techniques. We compared in-hospital and midterm outcomes for off-pump multivessel sequential and conventional coronary artery bypass grafting.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> From September 1998 to September 2008, 689 consecutive patients received off-pump multivessel sequential coronary artery bypass grafting performed by a single surgeon. These patients were propensity matched to 689 patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting without sequential anastomoses. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected perioperative data was performed. In addition, medical notes and charts of all the study patients were reviewed. The mean duration of follow-up was 5.1 � 2.0 years.</p><p><b>Results:</b> The major in-hospital clinical outcomes in the sequential and control groups were found to be similar. After adjusting for clinical covariates, sequential grafting was not an independent predictor of in-hospital adverse events (odds ratio [OR], 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.86-1.50; <i>P</i> = .31), medium-term mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.26; 95% CI, 1.06-1.32; <i>P</i> = .92), and readmission to hospital (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.96-1.20; <i>P</i> = .80). Sequential grafting was an independent predictor of receiving more than 3 distal anastomoses (OR, 7.46; 95% CI, 4.27-11.45; <i>P</i> < .0001). Risk-adjusted survival was 89% for sequential grafting patients and 88% for conventional grafting patients (<i>P</i> = .96) during the medium-term follow-up.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Our analysis confirms the short- and midterm safety and efficacy of off-pump sequential coronary artery bypass grafting.</p>
