What are the mortality and morbidity outcomes of major vascular reconstructive surgery in patients who have previously undergone coronary artery bypass?
Patients who have survived successful coronary bypass can undergo subsequent major vascular reconstructive procedures with acceptable mortality risks.
Edwards et al. (1978) conducted an observational in Prior coronary artery bypass requiring vascular reconstructive surgery (n=53). Major vascular reconstructive procedures was evaluated on Mortality (postoperative and subsequent). Major vascular reconstructive procedures following coronary artery bypass in 53 patients resulted in 2 postoperative deaths and 3 subsequent deaths, with 48 survivors doing well.
