The prognostic impact of unplanned invasive coronary angiography following coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Myocardial ischaemia following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a potentially devastating complication. Nevertheless, the incidence, aetiology and prognostic relevance of unplanned coronary angiography (uCAG) remain understudied. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcome of patients undergoing urgent, uCAG in the postoperative period following CABG.

Methods

We screened all patients undergoing isolated elective CABG in an academic referral centre between 2016 and 2021 and identified patients undergoing uCAG within 30 days of surgery. For uCAG patients, a distinction was made between patients undergoing re-revascularization (REV) and patients receiving conservative management (CON). The primary outcomes were 30-day mortality and unadjusted and adju
