Sex-differences in outcome after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting is age-dependent; data from the Netherlands Heart Registration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women are known to have worse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) than men. Studies have shown that off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) might benefit higher-risk patients, and therefore might also benefit women. We aimed to determine differences in early and late outcomes between sexes after OPCAB.

Methods

Data from all patients undergoing OPCAB, between 2013 through 2021 was retrieved from the Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR) database. Primary outcomes were early mortality, morbidity and late survival. We divided the population into subgroups based on age (aged ≥70 years or < 70 years) and sex.

Results

This study included 8,487 men and 2,170 women (total = 10,657). Female patients received fewer anastomoses (mean (SD)) wom
