Study: Operations not always needed on heart patients CHICAGO (AP) Costly operations such as bypass surgery often do little or nothing to extend the lives of older heart attack victims, a study suggests. "We're not saying these procedures don't do any good in any patients, but that they could be reduced," said Mark B. McClellan of Harvard University's health-care policy department. The study, published in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, examined nationwide hospital discharge data on 205,021 patients 65 and older who had heart attacks in 1987. Researchers examined which patients underwent any of three common invasive cardiac treatments catheterization, bypass surgery and angioplasty and compared them with those who received monitoring and medication.

Four years later, there were 8 percent fewer deaths among patients who underwent such procedures. But those patients tended to be younger and healthier to begin with, and were treated at hospitals with more specialized personnel and equipment, the researchers said. Catheterization involves injecting dye into an artery and taking an X-ray to determine if the heart is receiving enough blood. If not, doctors often try to redirect blood flow either with bypass surgery or angioplasty, in which a catheter with a balloon at the tip is used to unclog arteries. Survivors include his wife, Joyce Mader Mitcnell; a daughter, Julie.

Portland, Ohio; five sons, David Mitchell and Mike Mitchell, both of Portland, Ohio, Ronald Mitchell, Rushville, and Nick Mitchell and Don Mitchell, both of Muncie; two stepdaughters, Dawn Ewry, and Christi Harden, both of Muncie; a brother, Harold Mitchell, Arizona, and several grandchildren.
