Survival Outcomes After Multiple vs Single Arterial Grafting Among Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Multiarterial coronary bypass procedures offer improved clinical outcomes compared with single arterial grafting with supplementary saphenous vein grafts. However, the survival advantage of multiarterial grafting across varying levels of left ventricular impairment remains uncertain.

Objective

To compare long-term survival outcomes of patients undergoing multiple vs single arterial grafting, stratified by preoperative ejection fraction.

Design, setting, and participants

A complete-case retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from a multicenter population-based cardiac registry established by the Australian & New Zealand Society of Cardiac & Thoracic Surgeons with linkage to the National Death Index. Participants were individuals who underwent pr
