Implication

May support feasibility in post-bypass perioperative MI; hypothesis-generating case data leave efficacy unproven.

Structured PICO

Does coronary angioplasty improve outcomes in patients with complicated perioperative infarction following bypass surgery?

P
Population
2 patients sustaining complicated postoperative myocardial infarctions following bypass surgery
I
Intervention
Coronary angioplasty
O
Outcome
Resolution of angina and restoration of hemodynamic stability

Coronary angioplasty can be safely performed and may favorably alter short-term outcomes in patients with complicated perioperative myocardial infarction following bypass surgery.
