Implication
Reoperations after CABG warrant careful patient selection; leaves open whether technique or medical advances can improve outcomes in this population.
Structured PICO
What are the mortality risks and long-term symptomatic outcomes of reoperation after aortocoronary bypass compared to a single operation?
P
Population
1041 patients with consecutive first aortocoronary bypass operations
I
Intervention
Reoperation (aortocoronary bypass)
C
Comparator
Single aortocoronary bypass operation (first operation only)
O
Outcome
Operative mortality and late angina pectorishard clinical
Reoperation after aortocoronary bypass is associated with higher operative mortality and less favorable long-term relief of angina compared to the initial operation, with early symptom recurrence primarily driven by graft failure.
