Abstract
The late survival results suggest that elderly (â¥70 years) primary multivessel CABG patients benefit substantially when RA is used as the second conduit in combination with ITA. Indeed, compared with previously published comparisons including all age groups, the derived risk ratio indicates that the benefit for the elderly may exceed that for younger patients in the initial decade after CABG. Use of RA should not be avoided in the elderly.
