Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyBasic Data From 176 Studies on the Immediate Outcome After Aortic Valve Replacement With or Without Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
The aim of this study was to summarize the immediate outcome after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with or without coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Isolated AVR is associated with low mortality and morbidity. Coronary artery disease requiring concomitant CABG increases the operative mortality. Patients requiring AVR and CABG should be the main target of less-invasive treatment strategies.
