pubmed:abstractText |
There is clear evidence that patients having coronary artery bypass graft surgeries with an internal mammary artery (IMA) have better long-term survival. Some studies have suggested a short-term protective effect as well but, because older and sicker patients are less likely to receive an IMA graft, there has been concern that the apparent protective effect of the IMA on short-term mortality has been confounded by other risk factors. This study was intended to examine the independent effect of IMA grafts on in-hospital mortality while adjusting for patient and disease factors.
