Outcomes and risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with low ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ConclusionThe incidence of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with low ejection fraction is correlated with several factors, including advanced age, LVEF, Glu, eGFR, and the standardized preoperative administration of oral nitrates and aspirin.

New Research Highlights Superior Long-Term Survival with Multi-Arterial Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Over Single Arterial Grafting

DAIC

Survival outcomes were equivalent between MAG and SAG for patients aged 80 years or older, and those with severe heart failure , renal failure, peripheral vascular disease, or obesity. Notably, MAG showed superior survival for patients with a BMI less than 40, whereas patients with a BMI of 40 or higher had superior survival with SAG.

Comparison of multiple arterial grafts vs. single arterial graft in coronary artery bypass surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Observational studies and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have yielded conflicting results regarding the outcomes of multiple arterial grafts (MAG) vs. single arterial grafts (SAG) in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 12.6

Mid-term outcomes of endoscopic vein harvesting in coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective cohort study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) is an alternative technique to obtain the saphenous vein for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. We aimed to evaluate the early and mid-term outcomes of patients wi.

Fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio in coronary artery bypass grafting: a meta-analysis and practice review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Both indexes have been extensively validated in clinical trials in guiding revascularisation in patients with stable ischaemic heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with improved clinical outcomes. However, the role of these tools in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is less clear.

Association between white blood cell count and coronary artery bypass graft failure: an individual patient data analysis of clinical trials

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Baseline systemic inflammation is associated with worse long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], but the mechanisms of this association are unclear. This study aims to explore the assoc.

The association of perioperative serum uric acid variation with in-hospital adverse outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPrevious studies proposed the predictive value of baseline serum uric acid (SUA) in the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. The basic characteristics and incidence of adverse outcomes were compared between the groups in the overall population and the subgroups.
