Sex Differences in Long Term Survival After Total Arterial Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

This article investigates long term survival of total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting comparatively in a male versus female population. The retrospective analysis revealed that, compared to vein dependent procedures, total arterial revascularization was closely associated with a reduced incidence of long-term all-cause mortality for both male (HR, 0.86; 95 percent CI, 0.81–0.91; P < 0.001) and female (HR, 0.82; 95 percent CI, 0.73–0.91; P < 0.001) cohorts.
