Why the study?
Does a technique of distal coronary perfusion reduce perioperative myocardial infarction and operative death in patients undergoing combined aortic valve replacement and aortocoronary bypass surgery?
Population
49 patients undergoing combined aortic valve replacement and aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass graft surgery
Comparison
Distal coronary perfusion technique vs Historical controls ('other reported results')

Distal perfusion yielded low event rates in combined AVR+CABG; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without randomized data.
Does a technique of distal coronary perfusion reduce perioperative myocardial infarction and operative death in patients undergoing combined aortic valve replacement and aortocoronary bypass surgery?
A technique of distal coronary perfusion during combined aortic valve replacement and CABG may decrease the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction.
Macmanus et al. (1978) studied this question.
