Resident versus Attending Surgeon Graft Patency and Clinical Outcomes in On- versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Resident versus Attending Surgeon Graft Patency and Clinical Outcomes in On- versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery [1]

This sub-study of the Randomized On/Off Bypass (ROOBY) trial compared clinical outcomes and 1-year graft patency between CABG cases where residents vs. attending surgeons were the primary operator. Graft patency rates were similar between resident- vs. attending-completed distal anastomoses for on-pump (83.0% vs. 82.4%) and off-pump (77.2% vs. 76.6%) procedures.
