Abstract: | BackgroundIn a prospective, randomized trial involving 263 patients who would be incompletely revascularized by coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) alone, CABG plus transmyocardial revascularization (CABG/TMR) provided an early mortality benefit with similar angina relief compared with CABG alone at 1 year. We evaluated the long-term outcome of patients randomized to CABG/TMR or CABG alone.MethodsThirteen centers that enrolled 83% (218/263) of the patients in the original trial participated in this longitudinal study. Between 1996 and 1998, these centers randomized 218 patients who would be incompletely revascularized by CABG alone because of diffusely diseased target vessels to either holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (holmium:YAG) CABG/TMR (n = 110) or CABG alone (n = 108). Baseline demographics and operative characteristics were similar between groups. Follow-up (mean 5.0 ± 1.7 years) included survival and blinded angina class assessment.ResultsAt this 5-year follow-up both groups experienced significant angina improvement from baseline, however, the CABG/TMR group had a lower mean angina score (0.4 ± 0.7 vs 0.7 ± 1.1, p = 0.05), a significantly lower proportion of patients with severe angina (class III/IV: 0% 0/68] vs 10% 6/60], p = 0.009), and a trend towards greater number of angina-free patients (78% 53/68] vs 63% 38/60], p = 0.08), compared with CABG alone patients. Kaplan-Meier survival at 6 years was similar between CABG/TMR and CABG alone patients (76% vs 80%, p = 0.90).ConclusionsFive-year follow-up of prospectively randomized patients who would be incompletely revascularized because of diffuse coronary artery disease indicates that the addition of TMR to conventional CABG provides superior angina relief compared to CABG alone. |
