Article Synopsis
  • This study assessed how multiarterial grafts (MAG) compare to single arterial grafts (SAG) in terms of all-cause mortality and major adverse events in patients from a Middle Eastern nation.
  • A total of 23,798 patients were analyzed, with findings showing that MAG had lower crude mortality and adverse event rates initially, but these benefits diminished after adjusting for various patient characteristics.
  • The results suggest that while MAG did not improve outcomes for the overall patient population, certain subgroups like younger males and those without risk factors may benefit, warranting further investigation through clinical trials.

It seems that opioid usage is implicated in the pathogenesis of this condition due to its impacts on different organ systems, such as the autonomic nervous system. The present study was performed to investigate the effect of opium use on postoperative arrhythmia in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Background: For coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) sternotomy should be performed. The pain after surgery is severe and requires medical intervention. Use of the analgesics is limited by their side effects and studies suggest that prevention with some medications before surgery is effective in controlling the postoperative pain.
