Research summary
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common cardiac surgical procedure. Clinical evidence in CABG is usually derived from retrospective and single institutional series and this may introduce significant bias in the analysis of critical issues in the treatment of patients affected by severe coronary artery diseases. Since CABG is a major surgical procedure associated with significant postoperative mortality and morbidity, there is a need for improvement in the treatment of patients undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization in order to reduce the risk of early and late adverse events. Prospective analyses of the impact of baseline risk factors, operative techniques, perioperative treatment methods and secondary prevention strategies on the outcome of patients undergoing CABG will provide valuable and reliable information.
The E-CABG Registry is a European observational multicenter study aiming at collecting in a prospective fashion current data on baseline characteristics, operative data, anesthesiological methods and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing isolated CABG in several European centers of cardiac surgery.REC name
