BACKGROUND Malaysia, a multiracial country, has been burdened by ischemic heart disease, the leading cause of death for the past 10 years. The success of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) particularly depends on the continued patency of aortocoronary grafts. The study aims to identify the graft patency rate and risk factors of graft failure among symptomatic post CABG patients. METHODS Data were collected from 80 patients with a history of CABG, who underwent conventional coronary angiography for refractory angina in Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor, Malaysia from January 2014 till December 2018. The graft patency was evaluated with conventional coronary angiography. Graft patency was assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Differences between graft patency were tested with log-rank test at a 5% significance level and result with p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Among the 80 post CABG patients with cardiac symptoms, there were 2 patients with acute myocardial infarction (2.5%) and 24 patients with NSTEMI (30%). 22 patients (27.5%) were found to have all grafts patent despite being persistently symptomatic. Left internal mammary arterial (LIMA) graft remained as the best conduit with a significantly better short, medium, and long term patency (up to 20 years) compared to SVG graft (Log-rank test, p-value < 0.05). Indian race and age less than 70 years had higher risk of SVG graft stenosis. CONCLUSION Type of conduits remains the most important factor in determining the coronary artery bypass graft patency, with LIMA produces the best patency rate in both short and long term.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Postoperative CABG patients will generally experience improvement in symptoms and functional capacity. Post-CABG patients are expected to be productive again in order to have a positive impact on both patient and the society socio-economically, in addition to other parameters such as morbidity, mortality and serious adverse events. Purpose to determine the factors that associated with return to work in CABG patients in one General Hospital. Methods. We analyzed data from Adam Malik Hospital registry of 68 patients who had undergone CR after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in 2017-2020. The outcomes assessed were work status in 6 month after CABG. Patients’ characteristics, sociodemographic, clinical parameters of functional capacity using 6 minutes of walk test (6MWT), T2DM, Hypertension and cholesterol level were assessed. Factors associated with return to work were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results We identified 68 patients undergoing isolated CABG (2017–2020). One year after discharge for CABG, 40 (58.8%) patients had returned to the workforce. Factors associated with return to work  were identified using bivariate logistic regression. Diabetes mellitus (odds ratio, 10.192; 95% confidence interval, 0.063–0.515). Conclusion Almost 2 from 3 patients after CABG returned to work within 6 months. Diabetes mellitus and functional capacity were associated with a lower likelihood of returning to work.

Background: Most patients in intensive care unit (ICU) require both sedation and analgesia to encourage natural sleep, facilitate assisted ventilation and modulate physiologic response to stress. The ideal sedative after Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) should have rapid onset, immediate resolution of both pain and anxiety, promote cardiac and respiratory stability, maintain a reusability during sedation, allow rapid recovery after discontinuation, and attenuate the cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and inflammatory response. All these properties may improve outcome in cardiac patients after CABG.Methods: Setting-cardiac ICU. A prospective, randomised, single blind study including 60 patients divided into 2 groups. Data collection tools-study proforma and Ramsay sedation scale (RSS). Data analysed using science and statistical packaged (SPSS) version 20, independent sample `t` test, chi-square test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and p value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Sedation levels and length of stay of patients on ventilator were comparable in both groups, however, analgesic requirement was significantly less in dexmedetomidine group. Dexmedetomidine group showed significantly lower heart rates compared to propofol group.Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine and propofol are safe sedative agents during mechanical ventilation in ICU for patients undergoing off pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). There is more than 50% reduction in analgesic requirement and a significant reduction in heart rate in dexmedetomidine sedated patients.
