Late survival after coronary surgery.
One hundred and twenty-two patients have been followed for five to eight years after cardiac revascularization. The over-all mortality of 2% compares closely with the expected mortality of a normal population. Seventy percent of patients remain essentially angina free at an average follow-up period of six years. Late infarction, assuming all "coronary" deaths were so caused, occurred at a rate of 3.7% yearly.
