Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using either a single arterial graft (SAG) or multiple arterial grafts (MAGs).
- Conducted with 4,053 patients, the research focused on 238 individuals who had CABG within one week of AMI diagnosis, resulting in a comparison of 70 patients after matching based on clinical characteristics.
- Findings indicate that while surgery duration was longer for the MAG group, there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, readmissions, or complications between MAG and SAG groups within 30 days and up to five years post-surgery.
