Long-term Outcomes Associated With Total Arterial Revascularization vs Non-Total Arterial Revascularization.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The optimal conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remain controversial in multivessel coronary artery disease.

Objective

To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of total arterial revascularization (TAR) vs non-TAR (CABG with at least 1 arterial and 1 saphenous vein graft) in a multicenter population-based study.

Design, setting, and participants

This multicenter population-based cohort study using propensity score matching took place from October 2008 to March 2017 in Ontario, Canada, with a mean and maximum follow-up of 4.6 and 9.0 years, respectively. Individuals with primary isolated CABG were identified, with at least 1 arterial graft. Exclusion criteria were individuals from out of province and younger than 18 years. Patients undergoin
