Multiple arterial coronary bypass grafting is associated with greater survival in women
Heart Oct 23, 2020
Tam DY, Rocha RY, Fang J, et al. - In view of the association of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with higher survival and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) inscribed in observational studies of mostly men, researchers sought to compare the long-term clinical outcomes of MAG vs single arterial grafting (SAG) in women undergoing CABG for multivessel disease. Linking clinical and administrative databases for Ontario, Canada, they identified 2,961 and 7,954 women who underwent CABG with MAG and SAG, respectively, for multivessel disease. Over a long-term clinical follow-up, they identified MAG to be linked with greater survival and freedom from MACCE and emphasized considering it for women with good life expectancy requiring CABG.
