Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialPerioperative enoximone infusion improves cardiac enzyme release after CABG.
To assess whether routine postoperative enoximone infusion compared with dobutamine improved clinical and biochemical results after coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ Postoperative enoximone reduced troponin I release and need for inotropic support in patients undergoing on-pump myocardial revascularization. Subgroup data were confirmed in diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy, and total arterial revascularization.
