Abstract: | IntroductionIn this retrospective study, we aimed to determine the risk factors for coronaryartery bypass surgery in patients under 45 years of age, and evaluate the earlypostoperative results and the effect of gender.MethodsA total of 324 patients under 45 years of age who undergone on-pump coronaryartery bypass surgery between April 12, 2004 and January 10, 2012 were included tothe study. Patients divided into groups as follows: Group 1 consisted of 269 males(mean age 41.3), Group 2 consisted of 55 females (mean age 41.6). Preoperativerisk factors, intraoperative and postoperative data and early mortality rates ofthe groups were compared.ResultsSmoking rate was significantly higher in Group 1. Diabetes mellitus incidence andbody mass index were significantly higher in Group 2 (P valuesP=0.01; P=0.0001; P=0.04respectively). The aortic cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass time andnumber of grafts per patient were significantly higher in Group 1(P values P=0.04; P=0.04;P=0.002 respectively). There were no deaths in eithergroup.ConclusionWe found that gender has no effect on early mortality rates of the coronary bypasssurgery patients under 45 years. |
