The results of routinely performed multigated blood pool studies (MUGA) were compared with the presence of postthoracotomy complications in 46 adult men in a retrospective chart review. Pulmonary function measurements were also examined in relation to the presence of complications experienced. There was only one death, but survivable complications were not predicted by the MUGA results. The addition of MUGA as a routine preoperative cardiac screening technique did not result in increased ability to predict postoperative cardiopulmonary complications.
