Abstract
Despite rising comorbidities in Medicare patients undergoing CABG, hospital mortality fell significantly from 2000 to 2012. When adjusted for comorbidities, this signified a 27% reduction in hospital mortality. IMA use increased during the study period, and there was a trend of decreased use of 3 or more grafts.
