Influence of chronic total occlusions on coronary bypass surgical outcomes




Background


The influence of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) on the outcomes of patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CABG) remains unclear.




Objective


We analyzed the impact of coronary CTOs on 1-year all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), repeat revascularization and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among 610 patients undergoing uncomplicated CABG at VA North Texas between January 2004 and December 2008 using multivariable adjusted analysis.
