Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a major surgical operation where atheromatous blockages in a patients coronary arteries are bypassed with harvested venous or arterial conducts. The bypass restores blood flow to the ischemic myocardium, which in turn, restores the functions, viability and relieves angina symptoms.

Almost 4,00,000 CABG surgeries are performed each year making it the most commonly performed major surgical procedure, but surgeries have decreased, as the use of alternative options such as medical treatment and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) have increased.

This activity highlights the role of the inter-professional team in the management of patients with CAD.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms are considered to increase the risk in cardiac surgery. In patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, increased rates of perioperative infections and thromboembolic complications can be expected but studies analyzing the impact of myeloproliferative neoplasms on outcomes after cardiac surgery are lacking.

Background

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNS) are hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms with a high risk of thrombosis, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, outcomes after AMI have not been thoroughly characterized.

Case Presentation

A 55 years old male patient came to the emergency department with history of chest pain. He had previous history of ACS in 2020 and had undergone PCI to RCA and LAD. The recent admission was on 24/10/2023 when he had presented with complaints of chest pain. He was diagnosed as recent IW- PW- LW MI and was lysed with Inj. Streptokinase in the ER.

Echo indicated moderate LV dysfunction, grade I, diastolic dysfunction, Aortic sclerosis and mild concentric LVH. EF was 35%. His coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel disease and was advised CABG. However he needed hematologist and nephrologist opinions in view of abnormal hemoglobin and renal parameters. Hemoglobin, PCV and Creatinine were elevated.

Other symptoms

  1. Fatigue
  2. Weakness
  3. Weight loss
  4. Splenomegaly
  5. Brushing and bleeding
  6. Night sweats
  7. Pain in bones or joints

Symptoms pertaining to Polycythemia Vera

Result: Detected

 

Myeloproliferative-2

In view of the above Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPNS) was diagnosed

But in view of the high-risk CAD, CABG was offered

Hematologist Oncologist Opinion

In view of the Laboratory findings, the patient was diagnosed with Polycythemia Rubra Vera and the patient was advised for

  1. Venesection of 450 ml if required
  2. Proceed for the surgery
  3. Post-surgery if no infection to restart with C. Hydroxyurea 500 mg

Nephrologist Opinion

  1. Patient can be taken for CABG
  2. Moderate High risk
  3. Kindly avoid NSAID/Aminoglycosides to avoid intraop hypotension
  4. I/O chart to be strictly monitored
  5. Fluids 1.5L/day
  6. To review in postop period

Hence patient was taken up for CABG.

Operational notes

  1. LAD artery was 1.75mm diameter. LIMA was anastomosed to end to side with 8-0 prolene sutures.
  2. OM1 artery was 1.5mm diameter with mild plaque. The segment of the saphenous vein was anastomosed end to side with 8-0 prolene suture and the graft flushed well. The proximal end of the graft was anastomosed to the aorta with 6-0 prolene sutures.
  3. PDA artery was 1.5 mm diameter with mild plaque. The segment of the saphenous vein was anastomosed end to side with 8-0 prolene sutures and the graft was flushed well. The proximal end of the graft was anastomosed to the aorta with 6-0 prolene sutures.
  4. Mild line sternotomy division of thymus. Peri-cardiotomy, systemic heparinisation after harvesting of conducts. Grafting done as mentioned above with tissue stabilizers. Hemostasis and sternal closure with mediastinal and left pleural drains.

Conclusion

Patient with coronary artery disease along with myeloproliferative neoplasm- polycythemia in thin instance – have higher risk of in hospital death as there is a higher risk of thrombosis post procedure CABG > PCI.

More case reports are needed to understand the significant of in-hospital mortality in this subset group of patients.
