Younger CABG patients had lower mortality; leaves open whether age-specific strategies reduce repeat revascularization.
Does age < 60 years improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing isolated CABG compared to older patients?
Younger patients (<60 years) undergoing isolated CABG have lower long-term mortality and ischemic events but a higher need for repeat revascularization compared to older patients.
