Key result
Coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improved aortic distensibility from 3.5 to 4.8 cm2/dyne x10-6 and decreased aortic stiffness index from 3.2 to 2.8 at six months postoperatively.

Does coronary artery bypass grafting improve aortic functions in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease?
On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease is associated with significant improvements in aortic distensibility and compliance at 6 months postoperatively.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Associated with improved aortic function post-CABG; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.

Fahriye Vatansever Ağca (2015) conducted an observational in Multi-vessel coronary artery disease (n=32). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Aortic distensibility (cm2/dyne x10-6) at 6 months (p=<0.01). Coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improved aortic distensibility from 3.5 to 4.8 cm2/dyne x10-6 and decreased aortic stiffness index from 3.2 to 2.8 at six months postoperatively.
