Cardiac surgery for chronic renal dialysis patients

Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL.

Twenty-two open-heart operations have been performed on 21 patients receiving chronic renal dialysis. These cases include 16 aortocoronary bypasses and six valve replacements. The average time on dialysis prior to surgery was 26 months; 18 of 21 patients were in NYHA grade 3 or 4. Twenty-seven postoperative complications occurred, with six requiring further surgery and 21 treated nonsurgically. Two perioperative deaths occurred, both due to sepsis. Long-term follow-up was achieved on all hospital survivors. Ten patients remain alive with a mean follow-up of 21 months. At a mean of 16.5 months after surgery, nine deaths occurred, with only two due to known cardiac problems. In summary, indicated cardiac surgery can be performed on chronic renal dialysis patients with a reasonable morbidity and mortality; however, the long- term survival of our patients has not been assured by a successful cardiac operation.
