Coronary artery bypass with single versus multiple arterial grafts in women: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study objective was to investigate the impact of multiple arterial grafting on long-term all-cause mortality in women undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods

A comprehensive search was performed to identify observational studies reporting outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting reported by sex and stratified into multiple arterial grafting versus single arterial grafting strategies. Articles were considered for inclusion if they were written in English and were propensity-matched observational studies.

Secondary outcomes were operative mortality and spontaneous myocardial inf
