Long-Term Survival of Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Comparison of the Pre-Stent and Post-Stent Eras

This study presents the long-term survival of a large series of patients after CABG performed by a single surgical team with intermittent fibrillation technique. There was no difference in observed survival up to 8 years between the pre-stent and post-stent eras. This study establishes a baseline of long-term CABG survival that could be used for comparison with other methods of surgical, or nonsurgical coronary revascularization.
