Optimal Revascularization Timing of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major global health concern. However, the optimum timing of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in AMI patients remains controversial. This study investigated the optimal timing of CABG and its impact on postoperative outcomes. We hypothesized that determining the optimal timing of CABG could positively impact postoperative outcomes.

Methods

We conducted a nationwide retrospective analysis of the National Health Insurance Service of Korea database, focusing on 1 705 843 adult AMI patients diagnosed between 2007 and 2018 who underwent CABG within 1 year of diagnosis. Patients were categorized based on CABG timing. Primary endpoints included cohort identification and the time interval from AMI diagnosis to CABG. Secondary
