[Comparative studies of the blood lipids and apolipoproteins A1 and B in patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting under on-pump and off-pump bypass].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the influences of coronary artery bypass grafting under on-pump (CCABG) and off-pump bypass (OPCAB) on blood lipids and Apolipoproteins A(1) and B. METHODS: 41 patients underwent CCABG and 38 patients OPCAB. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), HDL-C cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-C cholesterol (LDL-C) and Apolipoproteins A(1) and B were monitored before and 24 h, 72 h, 7 d, 10 d, 14 d, 28 d after operation in all patients. None of them received lipid-lowering drug during the test. RESULTS: (1) There were no difference between two groups. The serum levels of TC, LDL-C decreased significantly in 24 h, 72 h, 7d, 10 d, 14 d after operation (P < 0.001). The level in 24 h was the lowest, then began increasing; until 28 days after operation the serum levels of TC, LDL-C exceeded preoperative baseline level (P < 0.05). (2) the level of TG and HDL-C in 24 h was the lowest (P < 0.001), then began increasing (P > 0.05). Until 28 days after operation the serum levels of TG exceeded preoperative baseline level (P < 0.05). (3) the serum levels of ApoA(1) decreased significantly in 24 h, 72 h, 7 day, 10 day, 14 day after operation (P < 0.001). The level in 24 h was the lowest, and lasted until 28 days after operation (P > 0.05); the serum levels of ApoB in 24 h was the lowest, then began increasing (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: There presents significant influence on blood lipids and Apolipoproteins A(1) and B after CABG, and initiate lipid (s)-lowering therapy as soon as possible.
