ABSTRACT
Utilization of radio-opaque coronary artery bypass graft markers is known to decrease the amount of contrast dye required to complete the procedure. The practice of marking bypass grafts varies significantly among surgeons. Limited data exist comparing the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention with and without coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) markers. We sought to explore the impact of proximal radio-opaque markers placed during CABG in subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention procedural risks. In our understanding of the current literature, this is the first meta-analysis conducted to evaluate the association between procedural angiographic metrics and CABG radio-opaque markers. We performed a query of MEDLINE and Scopus databases through August 2022 to identify relevant studies evaluating procedural metrics among patients with previous CABG with and without radio-opaque markers who underwent angiography. The primary outcomes of interest were fluoroscopy time, amount of contrast, and duration of angiography. We identified a total of 4 studies with 2,046 patients with CABG (CABG with markers n = 688, CABG without markers n = 1,518).2-5 Total fluoroscopy time was significantly reduced among patients with CABG markers compared with those with no markers (odds ratio [OR] -3.63, p <0.0001). The duration of angiography (OR -36.39, p >0.10) was reduced, although the result was not statistically significant. However, the amount of contrast utilization was significantly reduced (OR -33.41, p <0.0001). In patients who underwent CABG with radio-opaque markers, angiographic procedural metrics were improved, including reduced fluoroscopic time and the amount of contrast agent required compared with no markers.
