Implication
May aid risk stratification in emergency CABG after failed PTCA; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve survival.

117 patients who underwent emergency coronary artery bypass grafting after failed percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty at a single institution from 1981 through 1995.

Outcome
In-hospital mortality / perioperative deathhard clinical
In patients requiring emergency CABG after failed PTCA, the need for inotropic support in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is the strongest predictor of perioperative death.
