Renal failure and PVD, not diabetes alone, primarily reduce post-CABG survival; leaves open whether comorbidity-focused interventions improve outcomes.
Does diabetes and associated conditions affect long-term survival in patients undergoing CABG surgery?
The presence of renal failure and peripheral vascular disease, rather than diabetes alone, are the primary drivers of reduced long-term survival in diabetic patients undergoing CABG.
Leavitt et al. (2004) studied this question.
