Association of lipoprotein(a) level with short- and long-term outcomes after CABG: The role of lipoprotein apheresis.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that elevated Lp(a) is associated with a significantly increasing rate of one-year vein graft occlusions and adverse long-term cardiovascular outcomes whereas the use of lipoprotein apheresis improves vein graft patency during the first year after CABG.
