Does prior CABG reduce cardiac risk in patients with known coronary artery disease undergoing high-risk noncardiac surgery?
In patients with CAD, prior CABG reduces the elevated cardiac risk associated with major noncardiac surgeries.
In patients with known coronary artery disease, noncardiac surgeries involving the thorax, abdomen, vasculature, and head and neck are associated with the highest cardiac risk, which is reduced among patients with prior CABG.
