Within the EuroDRG project, we define a CABG case as admission to hospital of a patient who undergoes a coronary artery bypass graft surgery (procedure code 36.1 in ICD-9-CMc). Patients aged under one year are excluded from the analysis. In order to compare structural differences in patient...
In this study, patients were included if they had prior coronary artery bypass surgery and subsequently underwent PCI of greater than or equal to 1 SVG graft at a Dutch academic center between 1997 and 2008. These patients were matched 1:1 based on peri-procedural use of abciximab using a p...
Arrhythmias are common after cardiac surgery such as coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Although most of these arrhythmias are transient and have a benign course, it may represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Postoperative arrhy
These codes were internally validated by requiring an invasive assessment with diagnostic cardiac catheterization, PCI, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) within 3 days of ACS diagnosis. Exclusion criteria reflecting the target trial were applied thereafter (eTable 2 in Supplement 1...

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery for the prevention of sudden cardiac death Ventricular arrhythmias are responsible for most cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and account for at least 50% of the mortality of patients with ischemic heart failure. Since ischemia is the... R Autschbach,V ...
First, equitable referral of female patients to high-quality hospitals may narrow sex outcome disparities after high-risk surgery. The rationale underscoring this recommendation is seen both in our data as well as in national calls for female-specific centers of excellence for coronary arte...
