What are the in-hospital and long-term outcomes and their predictors in patients undergoing reoperative coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Reoperative CABG is associated with substantial in-hospital mortality (7.0%) and long-term risks, which are strongly predicted by age, urgency, and reduced ejection fraction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reoperative CABG mortality warrants careful selection especially in emergencies; extends observational survival data but leaves open prospective trials of optimized strategies.
Weintraub et al. (1995) studied this question.
