The incidence of previous coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to our hospital has risen from 2.3% to 11.2% in 6 yr. Infarct size and the angiographically determined cause of infarction were compared in 52 control patients and in 52 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction at least 2 mo. after they had undergone CABS. Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups except for a higher incidence of preexisting Q waves in the post-CABS group (22 vs. 10; P < 0.05). Indexes of myocardial infarct size were smaller in the post-CABS group compared with those in control patients: peak creatine kinase (CK) level (IU/l) 1113 .+-. 1094 (mean .+-. SD) vs. 1824 .+-. 1932 (P < 0.01), peak CK-MB level (IU/l) 173 .+-. 230 vs. 272 .+-. 332 (P < 0.02), peak summed ST segment elevation (mm) 3.5 .+-. 4.8 vs. 8.2 .+-. 9.9 (P < 0.005), and QRS score on days 7-10, 1.9 .+-. 3.0 vs. 4.3 .+-. 3.4 (P < 0.001). Postinfarction left ventricular ejection fraction was higher in the post-CABS group (53 .+-. 13%) compared with that in control patients (47 .+-. 12%; P < 0.05). The incidence of total occlusion of the artery to the infarct zone was similar in the post-CABS and control patients (33 vs. 27), as was the incidence of 1-, 2- and 3-vessel disease (artery plus graft). Collateral blood flow to the infarct zone was found in 27 post-CABS patients and in 23 control patients. The cause of infarction in post-CABS and control patients was a lesion in a major artery proximal to all branches in 7 vs. 22 (P < 0.001), a lesion in a diagonal or marginal artery in 15 vs. 4 (P < 0.01), and a lesion in a distal small vessel in 8 vs. 1 (P < 0.05). In addition, 8 patients with graft and artery occlusion had an occluded native vessel before surgery. Patients who have undergone previous CABS have smaller myocardial infarcts and better residual left ventricular function due to the presence of less jeopardized myocardium lying distal to the infarct-producing lesion.
