Increased Rehospitalization Rate After Coronary Bypass Operation for Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Prospective Study in 200 Patients

Similar and excellent long-term survival was found in both ACS and stable patients long-term after CABG. In patients with ACS, variables such as elevated troponin-T and angina at rest herald an increased risk of perioperative myocardial infarction. Freedom from cardiac rehospitalization is significantly higher in stable patients compared with ACS patients during the first postoperative years, indicating recurrent ischemia.
