Concomitant CABG was associated with lower mid-term mortality after post-MI VSD repair; leaves open whether routine revascularization improves outcomes in multivessel disease.
Does concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting reduce mid-term mortality in patients undergoing post-MI ventricular septal defect repair?
Concomitant CABG during post-MI VSD repair is associated with significantly improved mid-term survival, supporting routine revascularization in these patients when multivessel disease is present.
