Surgical Revascularisation in the Early Phase of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Haemodynamic Status is More Important Than the Timing of the Operation

Acute CABG in patients with STEMI can be performed with good results. Risk factors for early mortality and morbidity are cardiogenic shock, poor haemodynamic status and impaired ejection fraction. Time from infarction to reperfusion did not influence the results.
