Trang 2Surgery for Myocardial Salvage in Acute Myocardial
Infarction and Acute Coronary Syndromes

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute
coronary syndrome are major causes of morbidity
and mortality in the United States Most recent
statistics estimate that 1.375 million patients have
a coronary attack per year with the annual
in-cidence of AMI at 865,000 Total-mention
mortal-ity due to coronary heart disease is 653,000 per year,
making coronary heart disease the largest killer of
Americans (males and females) AMI is fatal in one
third of cases, with 250,000 deaths per year
occur-ring before the patient reaches the hospital [1,2]
Complications of AMI include cardiogenic shock,
ruptured ventricular septum, ruptured free wall
with tamponade, papillary muscle dysfunction
with mitral regurgitation, pericarditis, and
arrhyth-mia The death rate from AMI has fallen by nearly
30% since the 1990s, with in-hospital mortality
from AMI falling from 11.2% to 9.4% from 1900
to 1999 [3] Improvements in mortality and
morbid-ity over the past decade have been attributed to
innovations in pharmacologic treatment,
interven-tional cardiology, as well as techniques in bypass
surgery and circulatory support [4] Surgery has
played a key role in addressing emergent
catastro-phes with resultant improvement in mortality and
salvage of myocardium in the aftermath of AMI.
Surgery has also been shown to reduce long-term
morbidity from AMI as a result of emerging
knowl-edge, new procedures, and technical advances This
article addresses the pathophysiology, the
treat-ment options, and their rationale in the setting of
life-threatening AMI and acute on chronic
ischemia Although biases may exist between cardi-ologists and surgeons, this review hopes to provide the reader with information that will shed light on the options that best suit the individual patient in
a given set of circumstances.
Pathophysiology of acute ischemia Pathophysiology
Occlusion of an infarct-related artery (IRA) can lead to ischemia directly or reduce collateral flow to already ischemic or vascularly compromised areas Consequences include arrhythmia, hypotension, and high left ventricular (LV) end diastolic pres-sure As a result of no flow or low flow, myocardial damage can develop rapidly as cellular death evolves In the first minute, contractile dysfunction within the ischemic zone results from sarcomere deterioration Active systolic shortening progresses
to passive lengthening Within 20 minutes of IRA occlusion, cardiac myocytes have depressed func-tion and show the stigmata of myocardial stunning.
As occlusion persists, damage becomes irreversible After 40 minutes of ischemia, reperfusion is able to salvage only 60% to 70% of viable myocardium This value falls to 10% at 3 hours of ischemia [5] Animal models have shown a zone of widespread transmural necrosis at 6 hours of localized myocar-dial ischemia [6] In humans, irreversible damage occurs at 4 to 6 hours of ischemia Thus, success
of myocardial salvage is a function of time After excitation–contraction decoupling occurs acutely in the minutes following AMI, prolonged systolic and diastolic dysfunction occurs [7] Cell death proceeds by way of apoptosis (programmed cell death) or oncosis (cell swelling), depending on available energy levels Apoptosis, the main
