We studied the influence of pleurotomy during harvesting IMA for CABG on postoperative pulmonary function. Ninety nine cases underwent CABG surgery from January 1991 to July 1992, were divided into three subgroups, 45 patients (subgroup AY 2) having bilateral IMAs graft with pleurotomy, 45 patients (subgroup AY 1) having unilateral IMA graft with pleurotomy, 9 patients (subgroup AN) having unilateral IMA graft or vein grafts without pleurotomy. Frequencies of chest X-rays abnormality such as elevation of diaphragm and accumulation of pleural effusion before discharge around 2 weeks after surgery, were not significantly different among three subgroups. 58 cases without chest X-rays abnormalities were divided into three subgroups in the same way. There was no case with late extubation or with postoperative pulmonary complication. At first we compared pre-with postoperative pulmonary function in each subgroups. Pulmonary function (VC, FEV1.0, peak flow, MMF, V50, V25) was significantly deteriorated in the patients with pleurotomy, while VC, FEV1.0, peak flow significantly decreased, and MMF, V50 and V25 tended to decrease in the patients without pleurotomy. Moreover, magnitude of change of pulmonary function from pre- to postoperative period were not different significantly among three subgroups. In conclusions pleurotomy itself didn't appear to influence postoperative morbidity.
