Key result
CABG in patients aged ≤45 years carries a ~15% major event rate over 5.8 years.
Why the study?
Long-term outcome data after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients aged 45 years or younger were limited and needed evaluation.
Cohort (n=209)
No
CABG in young patients (≤45 years) is associated with favorable long-term event-free survival, though higher STS scores and CCS class IV angina predict adverse outcomes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Substantial long-term event rates in young CABG patients warrant vigilant follow-up; leaves open whether intensified secondary prevention alters prognosis.
Wittlinger et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG (n=209). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on Combined outcome of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, or repeated revascularization. In patients aged ≤45 years undergoing CABG, the composite of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, or repeated revascularization occurred in 14.8% over a mean follow-up of 5.8 years.
