Abstract
Two hemodialysis patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. Emergency coronary artery bypass grafting was performed in one patient with unstable angina and acute left ventricular failure. The other patient underwent a combined operation of coronary artery bypass grafting and replacement of abdominal aortic aneurysm. In both patients, hemofiltration was used during cardiopulmonary bypass. In the early postoperative periods, peritoneal dialysis and extracorporeal ultrafiltration method (ECUM) were used in Case 1, while Case 2 was treated by hemofiltration and ECUM. Postoperative coronary angiography showed that all grafts of both patients were patent, and both patients weve discharged from hospital without angina.
