Why the study?
This study aimed to assess the impact of coronary artery bypass grafting on outcomes in elderly patients compared to younger patients.
Does coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have comparable early and 6-month outcomes in older adults (≥75 years) compared to younger adults (<75 years)?
Population
535 patients undergoing CABG
Comparison
Older adults (≥75 years) vs younger adults (<75 years)
Design
Observational case-control study
Follow-up
Six months

May support age-stratified risk counseling before CABG; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of outcomes.
Does coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have comparable early and 6-month outcomes in older adults (≥75 years) compared to younger adults (<75 years)?
CABG is a viable treatment option for elderly patients (≥75 years) with acceptable operative risk, showing no significant difference in in-hospital or 6-month mortality compared to younger patients.
