Total Intravenous Anesthesia was Associated With Better Survival Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Retrospective Cohort Study With 3-Year Follow-Up in South Korea.
The authors aimed to investigate if the anesthetic technique was associated with 3-year all-cause mortality after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Compared with volatile anesthesia, propofol-based TIVA was associated with decreased 3-year all-cause mortality in patients undergoing CABG. This was the first study to suggest that TIVA might be associated with an increase in survival at 3-year follow-up after CABG, and further studies are needed to confirm the optimal anesthetic choice for CABG.

Sex Differences in Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
To examine sex differences in inpatient mortality and 30-day and 90-day readmissions after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) among a multistate population. ⋯ This study demonstrated that female patients who undergo CABG are at a greater risk of in-hospital death and 30-day and 90-day readmission compared with men. This sex-based disparity in outcomes has persisted since identification some 40 years ago.
