Identifies key preoperative predictors for mortality after valve-CABG; supports risk stratification but leaves open whether modification alters outcomes.
What are the predictors of early, late, and event-free survival in patients undergoing combined valve and CABG surgery?
Preoperative NYHA class >= IV, impaired left ventricular function, and mitral regurgitation are major predictors of early and late mortality and adverse events after combined valve and CABG surgery.
Flameng et al. (1994) studied this question.
