BackgroundPrevious studies examining the influence of prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have reported conflicting results. The purpose of this study was to further examine the influence of prior PCI on long-term survival after CABG at a large tertiary referral heart institute.MethodsLong-term survival between 1992 and 2011 was compared in non-emergent CABG cases with and without prior PCI. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed using a Cox regression model.ResultsA total of 2532 (19%) patients had prior PCI before CABG (n = 13,354). The median follow-up for study participants was 8.1 years. The median survival for patients with and without prior PCI was 15 years and 14 years, respectively (p < 0.0001). Long-term survival was similar between patients with and without prior PCI after adjusting for age, sex, race, hypertension, coronary artery disease severity, congestive heart failure, and prior stroke (adjusted HR = 0.99, 95%CI = 0.91–1.06).ConclusionFindings from outcomes research are important in the planning of appropriate postoperative patient care. Our study provides additional evidence that prior PCI is not a significant predictor of long-term survival after CABG.
