[Blood purification after aorto-coronary bypass grafting for dialysis patients].

Four dialysis patients received aorto-coronary bypass grafting (CABG) at Fukuyama cardiovascular hospital from April 1989 to March 1992. We employed continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in two cases, hemodialysis with extracorporeal ultrafiltration method (ECUM + HD) in one case and hemodiafiltration with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVHF + HDF) in one case for perioperative management. In each cases, intermittent HD was undergone during 4 days before operation. Intraoperatively, HD was used together with extracorporeal circulation. Blood pressure in the postoperative course changed more frequently in CAPD cases than ECUM + HD or CVVHF + HDF case. Especially, CVVHF + HDF stabilized the movement of circulation and kept balance of serum BUN, Cr after the operation (BUN; 27.2 +/- 6.3, Cr; 5.0 +/- 0.6). We concluded that CVVHF + HDF would be the most favorable method to maintain the fluid balance stably for the uremic patients after CABG.
