Diabetes is one of the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease. Diabetics often have severe three vessel disease and coronary bypass surgery is in most cases the preferred treatment of choice in these patients. We investigated early surgical complications and outcomes in diabetic patients following isolated CABG in Iceland and compared them to those of non-diabetic patients. ⋯ Diabetic patients that underwent CABG more often suffered acute renal injury but diabetes was not an independent prognostic factor of operative mortality.
