Why the study?
Does advanced age (≥70 years) worsen hospital mortality and long-term survival in patients undergoing isolated reoperative CABG compared to younger patients?
Does advanced age (≥70 years) worsen hospital mortality and long-term survival in patients undergoing isolated reoperative CABG compared to younger patients?
Reoperative CABG in patients aged 70 years and older is associated with higher hospital mortality and morbidity but yields acceptable 5-year survival and functional outcomes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant caution with reoperative CABG in patients ≥70 years; leaves open optimal selection given acceptable 5-year survival.
Christenson et al. (1997) studied this question.
