SINGLE VERSUS MULTIPLE ARTERIAL GRAFTS: COMPARISON OF IN HOSPITAL MORTALITY

Even though not all findings have been equally positive, many retrospective studies seem to shown an incremental survival improvement by increasing the number of arterial grafts. Multiple (MultArt) grafting is only currently used in a small coronary arteries bypass (CABG) surgeries, despite convincing and comprehensive information published literature. The goal study compare incidence in-hospital mortality patients following CABG with single versus multiple grafts evaluate frequency undergoing for diseases (CAD). Following institutional review board permission, this descriptive case series was carried out at Jinnah Hospital's heart surgery department Lahore. 250 receiving under general anaesthesia were part study. quantity grafted recorded during CABG.
