Key result
Postoperative complications following CABG surgery occurred in 8.3% of patients, with age and ICU stay length identified as significant risk factors.
Why the study?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery provides significant cardiac benefits but carries risks of post-operative complications, including cognitive impairments and infections.
Cohort (n=108)
No
In a single-center Jordanian cohort, postoperative complications following CABG occurred in 8.3% of patients and were associated with older age, longer ICU stays, and left ventricular impairment.

Warrants vigilance for older CABG patients with prolonged ICU stays; leaves open generalizability beyond this single-center cohort.
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery brings significant cardiac benefits but also risks post-operative complications, including cognitive impairments and infections. MATERIALS & METHODS: We analyzed 108 patient records between 2011 and 2021 at the Princess Muna Al-Hussein Cardiac Center, Irbid, Jordan. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of postoperative events. RESULTS: Few patients (8.3%) faced complications like stroke and infections, with age and ICU stay length as significant risk factors. Patients with complications often experienced left ventricular impairments and required inotropic support. CONCLUSION: The study highlights the need for understanding CABG surgery complications to improve outcomes, emphasizing preventive care and personalized follow-up.
