the most common cardiovascular surgery in the world and iran as well, is cabg. one of the most important post-operative complication of this operation, that increase morbidity and mortality, is peri-operative mi. incidence of peri-operative mi in cabg operations is between 2.5 to 5.5%. in this study we determined the prevalence and incremental risk factors of peri-operative mi in 300 consequati...

The clinical significance of perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary artery bypass surgery is not known. Therefore, strategies for the risk stratification of these patients do not exist. This study was undertaken to define the effect of perioperative MI on prognosis after discharge from the hospital and to develop an approach to the risk stratification of these patients. Fifty-n...

OBJECTIVES Implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) early after acute myocardial infarction (MI) has traditionally been thought to be associated with high mortality rates due to technical limitations and severe end-organ dysfunction. At some experienced centers, doctors have refrained from earlier operation after MI to allow for a period of hemodynamic and end-organ stabilization...

The goal of anaesthetic management in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is the prevention of perioperative myocardial ischaemia. This approach is based on the assumption that sustained intraoperative ischaemia may precipitate postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) with its attendant complications. This presentation will review available information regarding perioperative ischaemia,...

The number of subjects undergoing major noncardiac surgery who are at risk for perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) is growing worldwide.It has been estimated that 500,000 to 900,000 patients suffer major perioperative cardiovascular complications every year, with consequent heavy, long-term prognostic implications and costs.It is well known that perioperative MIs don't share the same patho...

Perioperative physicians seek to reduce the risk of adverse perioperative events, focusing in particular on adverse cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiac death. To this aim, extensive and often invasive intraand postoperative hemodynamic monitoring have become the standard of care. Obviously, monitoring in itself does not prevent adverse events as over 5% of highr...

I n this issue of the Journal, Parashar et al. (1) present a single-center 10-year retrospective analysis characterizing patients undergoing coronary angiography after perioperative myocardial infarction (MI). The authors present an analysis of angiograms from 1,093 patients with perioperative MI anddescribe the high risk nature of associated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The death ...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to perform a risk assessment of 30-day perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) for spine surgery patients. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA There is an increased emphasis to reduce complications and improve outcomes after spinal surgery. One of the more devastating perioperative complications of spinal surgery is MI. METHO...

A total of 55 consecutive patients who experienced perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary artery bypass grafting were studied using multislice computed tomography (MSCT) angiography to evaluate for graft patency. The MSCT detected acute graft occlusion in 23% grafts. Of the 55 patients, 40% patients had occluded grafts and perioperative MI in the area of the grafted vessels; re...
