Previous versions: December 11, 2020: Ahead of Print Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) led to the pandemic, causing unprecedented health and social crisis worldwide.Patients with acute coronary syndromes, especially when coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is needed, may present with higher severity risk if affected by COVID-19. Extracorporeal circulation leads to activation of endothelium and microcirculatory network, which activates the coagulation, platelet aggregation, and inflammation.1 COVID-19 may also course with severe inflammation, massive secretion of inflammatory cytokines, plaque rupture, and a procoagulant state.2 Therefore, it is advisable to postpone surgeries interventions when possible. However, our institution is a public tertiary referral hospital for high-risk cardiovascular patients even in SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.We describe a series of 13 patients with high-risk coronary artery disease submitted to CABG and who had COVID-19 infection during the same hospitalization, 6 patients had COVID-19 before surgery, 3 patients were operated with active infection, and 4 patients were infected after surgery.All patients were admitted with severe multivessel coronary disease, with clinical features requiring emergency procedures. By the definition of cardiac surgery recommendations during COVID-19 by Patel et al,3 all patients were on high acuity cases and were not able to be discharged.Heart team decisions were made for all patients and infectious disease evaluation for COVID-19. We routinely tested for reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 24 to 48 hours before surgery. Positive or nonavailable COVID-19 tests had all personal protective equipment isolation measures in the operating room and isolated postoperative intensive care unit. During surgery, no extracorporeal circulation changes, were done in patients with COVID-19, and ultrafiltration was routinely used. Patients characteristics are summarized in Table.4,5Table.

After surgery, one died from septic shock and another patient died from severe encephalopathy. This encephalopathy had T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintense signal in hypothalamus and a diffuse microangiopathic pattern seen at brain magnetic resonance imaging. Two other patients had atrial fibrillation and 2 had no complications after surgery.Three patients were submitted to CABG at an emergent basis during active COVID-19 infection, because of clinical instability and before the PCR SARS-CoV-2 result was available. One died and the 2 others were discharged. This patient died in the third postoperative day of cardiogenic shock. The other patient, with a high surgical risk, did not develop important clinical manifestations of COVID-19 and was discharged 26 days after surgery. The third patient recovered from septic shock from lung origin. She presented with mild-lung signs of COVID-19 infection.Four patients had a negative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in the 3 days before surgery and were infected in the postoperative period, in a medium time of 8.5 days after CABG. All 4 were discharged alive. They developed COVID-19 clinical manifestations that ranged from moderate to severe. One had a pulmonary embolism, and 2 had type 5 myocardial infarction.The authors declare that all supporting data are available within the article. This study was approved by an Institutional Review Committee.Emergent cardiac surgery did not stop in our hospital because of COVID-19 pandemic, and all stable cases were deferred. Since the begging of the pandemic, specific intensive care units and wards were opened for the suspected and confirmed cases. Visits were suspended as the companions. But even though, infections occurred.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first series of CABG patients with COVID-19 infection in the same hospitalization. Previous case description reported only single cases.6,7In our case series, we found a high rate of complications and in hospital mortality. Hypothalamic magnetic resonance imaging changes seen in the fourth patient had already been described in patients with COVID-19, an imaging feature that resembles Wernicke's encephalopathy.Although there are potential in common severe complications of both CABG and COVID-19, they are related to the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 infection and the risk of the cardiac procedure.A particularly important point is related to patients who were infected before surgery and waited sufficient time until resolution of symptoms. After the surgical procedure, they had a disproportionately high rate of death and complications.In our series, COVID infection after CABG did not result in severe complications.Protective measures to avoid COVID-19 infection are mandatory. We learned that patients with previous COVID-19 should wait as long as possible after clinical resolution, considering that unexpected CABG complications may occur.Sources of FundingNone.Disclosures None.FootnotesPedro Silvio Farsky, MD, Av Dante Pazzanese 500, Sao Paulo, SP, CEP 04012-180 Brazil.
