Predictors of readmission for complications of coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Article Abstract:

Researchers have discovered several characteristics that may increase a coronary bypass patient's risk of being re-admitted to a hospital within 30 days of the operation. They include old age, female sex, African-American race, obesity, history of a heart attack, and other medical conditions such as stroke, heart failure, COPD, diabetes, kidney failure, and liver failure. Surgeons who do fewer than 100 bypass operations and hospitals with high mortality rates were also risk factors for re-admission.

Long-Term outcomes of coronary-artery bypass grafting versus stent implantation

Article Abstract:

Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are the definitive options for treating patients with coronary artery disease. Results of a study conducted on patients who underwent CABG and PCI, reveal that for patients with two or more diseased coronary arteries, CABG is associated with higher adjusted rates of long-term survival than stenting.

Drug-eluting stents vs. coronary-artery bypass grafting in multivessel coronary disease

Article Abstract:

The article presents a comparative study of the outcomes of drug-eluting stents and coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) that are used for the treatment of multivessel coronary heart disease. CABG is found to lead to a lower mortality rate than the drug-eluting stents.
