Coronary artery bypass surgery in women
Key result
Coronary artery bypass surgery in women is associated with higher surgical mortality and recurrent angina compared to men, although long-term mortality remains similar between sexes.
Why the study?
Does coronary artery bypass surgery have different outcomes and complication rates in women compared to men?

Implication
Higher early CABG risks in women support sex-stratified outcome reporting; leaves open mechanisms and mitigation strategies.
Structured PICO
Does coronary artery bypass surgery have different outcomes and complication rates in women compared to men?
P
Population
Women with coronary artery disease, including significant left main coronary artery stenosis, left main equivalent disease, severe three-vessel disease, two-vessel disease with proximal LAD stenosis, and unstable angina with decreased left ventricular function
E
Exposure
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), including use of internal mammary artery grafts alone or with saphenous vein grafts
C
Comparator
Men undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
O
Outcome
Surgical mortality and long-term mortalityhard clinical
Although women experience higher rates of early surgical complications and recurrent angina after coronary bypass surgery compared to men, their long-term mortality remains similar.
