title: [Indication of CABG as reflected in the late results--10 year follow-up 1344 cases].
abstract: Because of the recent advancement and wide spread application of interventional cardiology, the indication and results of CABG have been more closely scrutinized. 10 year survival rate and cardiac event free rate of our 1344 cases pf CABG for the past 10 years was 79.3% and 69.8% respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed left ventricular dysfunction, old age, diabetes mellitus, severe symptom of angina, and no-use of ITA as variables influencing the late survival. These results are comparable to the published data from USA or European countries. The proper selection of patients in consultation with cardiologists may yield better surgical results.
