Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and saphenous vein graft patency after coronary artery bypass grafting.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the predictive value of preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in postoperative saphenous vein graft patency in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. ⋯ Preoperative NLR is clearly an independent predictor of saphenous vein graft patency in patients after CABG.
