Effect of Concomitant Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on Outcomes of Ascending Aorta Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ascending aorta replacement can be performed safely in high-volume centers. What remains unknown is whether concomitant coronary revascularization with bypass grafting affects postoperative outcomes.

Methods

This study retrospectively reviewed a prospectively maintained institutional database for patients who underwent ascending aorta replacement (AAR) during the period from 1997 to 2018. Patients were stratified into AAR alone (AAR) vs AAR and coronary artery bypass graft (AAR with CABG), further categorized as 1 or more than 1 CABG. Aortic dissection and root replacement cases were excluded. The primary end point consisted of major adverse events (MAE), including operative mortality, perioperative myocardial infarction, stroke, need for tracheostomy, and need fo
