PERIOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH STABLE ANGINA PECTORIS AND CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE UNDERGOING CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING SURGERY
Abstract
Perioperative complications of coronary artery bypass grafting were estimated depending on the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as co-morbidity. A higher incidence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and pneumonia in patients with COPD was revealed compared with the control group. There were no differences of perioperative myocardial damage and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. In general, the postoperative period in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and COPD is characterized by more severe and the high incidence of complications.
