Background: Bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting largely is underutilized in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), partly because of the perceived increased complexity of the procedure. Aims: In this study, we evaluated whether BIMA grafting can safely be performed also in centers, where this revascularization...

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the incidence and determinants of major early adverse events in low-risk patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: The multicentre E-CABG registry included 7352 consecutive patients who underwent isolated CABG from January 2015 to December 2016. Patients with an...

Background: Postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We tested the hypothesis that patients with a preoperatively estimated high risk of severe perioperative bleeding may have impaired early outcome after on-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Method: Data from...
