title: [10-year outcome of aortocoronary bypass. Apropos of a consecutive series of 114 patients].
abstract: The cases of 114 consecutive patients undergoing saphenous vein coronary bypass surgery over 10 years ago were reviewed. The perioperative mortality was 2.6% and the incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction in the same period was 6.1%. The 10 year survival rate was 80%; the most important prognostic factor for survival was left ventricular function (89% vs 51%; p less than 0.001). Other significant prognostic factors were the degree of revascularization (p less than 0.05) and the severity of the coronary artery disease (p less than 0.05). The incidence of recurrent ischaemia during follow-up depended mainly on the quality of myocardial revascularisation (p = 0.003). Taking into account the high proportion of patients with single vessel disease in this series (38.6%), our results were comparable with other reported studies of the same subject and the same period (1970-1976).
