Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Current Clinical Practices and Future Perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The definitions of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are heavily debated. A European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (EACTS)-endorsed international survey was conducted to evaluate current clinical practices and to reach a consensus-based agreement on the diagnostic characteristics required for a potential future PMI definition.

Methods

The questionnaire complied with the CHERRIES guideline. A pilot version underwent iterative testing. The final version was distributed to all members of EACTS and allied specialties. The questionnaire evaluated definitions, biomarkers, and required diagnostic accuracy and was distributed between August-November 2024.

Results

The questionnaire was completed by 175 r
