Prior percutaneous coronary interventions may be associated with increased mortality after coronary bypass grafting: A meta-analysis

There is conflicting evidence for adverse outcomes after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) with prior percutaneous intervention (PCI). A literature search was performed for 1998-2017 and articles with primary or secondary outcomes of survival, major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction in CABG patients with prior PCI were included. Forest plots were generated from odds ratios for survival, major adverse cardiovascular events and myocardial infarction for unmatched and propensity matched data.
