Long-Term Outcome of Total Arterial Myocardial Revascularization Versus Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients: A Propensity-Match Analysis
Highlights
- • Total arterial revascularization has at long-term lower incidence of cardiac adverse events.
- • Radial artery represents a valid option as graft for total arterial revascularization strategy.
- • In diabetic, SVG were identified as an independent predictor for mortality and incidence of MACCES.
Abstract
Objective
Despite the improved survival in patients with multi-vessel coronary disease compared to conventional myocardial revascularization associated with the use of multiple arterial grafting for myocardial revascularization, it has been adopted in the minority of centers. We sought to evaluate the long-term outcome of patients with and without diabetes undergoing total arterial versus conventional myocardial revascularization.
