ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are the most commonly used conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Graft failure is observed in up to 50% of SVG at 10 years after surgery. Whether a difference in SVG patency rates exists between men and women remains unclear.METHODS:
We performed a study-level meta-analysis to evaluate sex-related differences in follow-up patency rates of SVG after CABG. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies on CABG that reported follow-up SVG patency rates in men and women. The primary outcome was SVG patency rates by sex at follow-up.RESULTS:
Seventeen studies totaling 8235 patients and 14,781 SVG grafts were included. There was no significant difference in follow-up SVG patency rates between men and women (incidence rate ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.90-1.03, p = .24), with mean angiographic follow-up of 33.5 months (standard deviation 29.2). Leave-one-out and cumulative analysis were consistent with the main analysis. We concluded that follow-up SVG patency rate is similar between men and women undergoing CABG.Palavras-chave
