Combined AVR+CABG was associated with lower survival; leaves open whether concomitant grafting affects outcomes in patients with coronary disease.
Does simultaneous aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass grafting impact long-term survival compared to aortic valve replacement alone in patients without coronary artery disease?
Simultaneous AVR and CABG is associated with a 65% actuarial survival at 42 months, which is lower than the 76% survival seen in AVR patients without severe coronary disease, with the highest mortality observed in patients with aortic regurgitation.
