Long-term Outcome of Reexploration for Bleeding After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
This study aimed to determine the influence of reexploration for bleeding and blood product requirement after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on long-term mortality. ⋯ Reexploration for bleeding was significantly associated with higher 30-day mortality but not with long-term mortality. Poorer long-term mortality was attributed to patient characteristics and higher use of postoperative blood products.
