The patient a 75-year-old man who was treated for diabetes and angina pectoris. He relapsed with an angina attack. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease. We performed coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). During surgery, we converted from off-pump CABG to on-pump beating CABG because of hemodynamic instability. After surgery, severe circulatory failure occurred with uncontrollable hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia, which did not improve with catecholamine administration and insulin infusion. However, after continuous hemodiafiltration( CHDF) was initiated, in addition to aortic balloon pumping, his arterial blood pressure increased, and blood glucose and lactate levels decreased. Postoperative hyperinflammatory condition might have induced severe circulatory failure, hyperglycemia, and hyperlactatemia. CHDF might have contributed to improving the condition.
