Management of IHD has a Management of IHD has a long way to go in this country.long way to go in this country.

MINAP data shows that 35,000 patients p.a. with MI do not see a cardiologist.

Mortality rate is 10%.(36,000 deaths pa from lung cancer.)The aim should be to diagnose and

revascularise some/most of these patients before they infarct.

Indications for CABG in Chronic Indications for CABG in Chronic Stable Angina.Stable Angina.

Significant (>50%) left main stem stenosis. Disabling angina despite maximal medical

therapy, when surgery can be performed with acceptable risk.

Three vessel disease (survival benefit greater when LVEF < 50%).

Two vessel disease with significant proximal LAD stenosis and either EF < 50% or demonstrable ischaemia on non-invasive testing.

Indications for CABG in Chronic Indications for CABG in Chronic Stable Angina (2).Stable Angina (2).

Left main equivalent; i.e. > 70% stenosis of proximal LAD and circumflex arteries.

One or two vessel disease without significant proximal LAD stenosis, but with a large area of viable myocardium and high risk on non-invasive testing.

Isolated proximal LAD stenosis, especially if EF < 50%.

Indications for CABG in Unstable Indications for CABG in Unstable Angina / Non-Q Wave MI.Angina / Non-Q Wave MI.

Significant LMS stenosis.Left main equivalent.Ongoing ischaemia despite maximal

medical therapy.Proximal LAD stenosis with 1 or 2 vessel

disease.

Indications for CABG in S-T Segment Indications for CABG in S-T Segment Elevation (Q-wave) MI.Elevation (Q-wave) MI.

No overall strongly supporting evidence.Angioplasty in first instance.Relative Indications for CABG:

– Ongoing ischaemia/infarction not responsive to maximal non-surgical therapy.

– Progressive pump failure with coronary stenoses compromising viable myocardium outside the infarct area.

Page 8: Surgical Myocardial Revascularisation

Contraindications for CABG.Contraindications for CABG.

One or two vessel disease not involving significant proximal LAD stenosis, in patients (1) who have mild symptoms that are unlikely to be due to myocardial ischaemia or have not received an adequate trial of medical therapy and (A) have only a small area of viable myocardium or (B) have no demonstrable ischaemia on non-invasive testing.

EYHC

Page 9: Surgical Myocardial Revascularisation

Contraindications for CABG.Contraindications for CABG.

Borderline coronary stenoses (50% to 60% of diameter in locations other than LMS), and no demonstrable ischaemia.

Insignificant (< 50%) stenosis.More than 12 hours following MI without

ongoing ischaemia.

Myths.Myths.

Mortality following CABG higher than PTCA.

CPB causes brain damage.Significant proportion of grafts occlude

early.CABG expensive.

Mortality falling despite worstening casemix.– Over 75yrs up 4.5x over last decade (mortality down by

35% over last 5 yrs).– Diabetics up to 22%, 50% reduction in mortality.– Mortality for women fallen by over 30%.– HT up to 65%, 25% reduction in mortality.– Mortality for poor LV down by 30%.

CABG activity stable, combined cases increasing.

Paclitaxel DES:– Have not shown any advantage over BMS regarding

mortality or MI rates.

Sirolimus DES:– No reduction in MACE rates at 36 days, though lower

later on.– Have not been shown to have either a mortality or MI

advantage over BMS.

The assessment groups model estimated a survival benefit for CABG over PCI of 0.05 QALYs per patient at 5 years.

This benefit would be enough to make CABG the preferred technology on both clinical and cost effectiveness.

However, the clinician consultees vigorously challenged this (4 cardiologists, 1 surgeon).

They would, wouldn,t they !
