A idade influencia os desfechos em pacientes com idade igual ou superior a 70 anos submetidos à cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica isoladaAge influences outcomes in 70-year or older patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery Abstract Objective: To analyze the results of isolated on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in patients ≥ 70 years old in comparison to patients <70 years old.Methods: Patients undergoing isolated CABG were selected for the study. The patients were assigned into two groups: G1 (age ≥ 70 years old) and G2 (age <70 years old).The endpoints were in-hospital mortality, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, re-exploration for bleeding, intraaortic balloon pump for circulatory shock, respiratory complications, acute renal failure, mediastinitis, sepsis, atrial fibrillation, and complete atrioventricular block (CAVB).Results: A total of 1,033 were included in the study: G1 Rev Bras Cir Cardiovasc 2012;27(1):45-51
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
