dc.description.abstractBackground: In recent years, an increasing number of individuals have become refugees as a result of wars and domestic disturbance in their countries. The struggle for life of refugees under difficult conditions, increasing health problems, and insufficient Access to health services result in the loss of human lives. The aim of the present study was to present the outcomes of coronary artery bypass surgery in Syrian refugees. Methods: We performed emergency or elective bypass surgery to 53 Syrian refugees who ran away from civil war in Syria, between 2012 and 2014. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data of the patients were evaluated. Results: Of the patients, 18.9% sustained myocardial infarction, 34% had diabetes, 28.3% had COPD, and 52.8% were smokers. Two patients had emergency surgery and 51 patients had elective surgery. In the postoperative period, five patients (9.4%) were found to have atrial fibrillation. Cerebrovascular disease was observed at three patients (5.7%) in the postoperative period, and one patient had wound infection. A total of three patients (5.7%) died. Conclusion: The authors believe that under appropriate conditions, refugee patients should also receive therapy for chronic disorders in addition to emergency interventions. © 2016, E-Century Publishing Corporation.
