Key result
Although overall mortality for coronary artery bypass grafting is less than 10%, older age, female sex, perfusion time >90 minutes, and unstable angina remain important risk factors for adverse outcomes.
Why the study?
What are the risk factors influencing mortality and myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting?
What are the risk factors influencing mortality and myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting?
This review highlights key risk factors, including age, female sex, prolonged perfusion time, and unstable angina, that influence adverse outcomes after CABG.

These risk factors warrant attention in CABG risk stratification; leaves open the need for contemporary validation and intervention trials.
Craddock et al. (1994) conducted a review in Coronary artery bypass grafting. Risk factors (age, female sex, perfusion time, unstable angina) was evaluated on Mortality and myocardial infarction. Although overall mortality for coronary artery bypass grafting is less than 10%, older age, female sex, perfusion time >90 minutes, and unstable angina remain important risk factors for adverse outcomes.
