Results of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease

This work is relevant because it studies the effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the incidence of complications after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with ischemic lung disease. 118 histories of patients, who underwent CABG under conditions of artificial circulation and without it, on a working heart, were analyzed. It was found that in patients with CABG under conditions of infarction and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the period of artificial ventilation was significantly longer among all the assessed complications and features of the postoperative period than in the group of patients with CABG performed on a working heart.
