Early postoperative bleeding impacts long-term survival following first-time on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Significant bleeding following cardiac surgery is a recognised complication, associated with a requirement for re-exploration and blood transfusion, both associated with increased morbidity and early mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the volume of early postoperative bleeding on long-term survival for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed of patients undergoing first-time isolated CABG at a single centre between January 2003 and April 2013, conditional from 30-day survival.

Results

Six thousand two hundred and sixty-five patients were analysed, with a mean Logistic EuroSCORE of 4.9%. The mean age was 67.8 years. Median follow-up was 11.5 years. The overall 10- a
