Health ‐related quality of life impacts upon 5‐year survival after coronary artery bypass surgery
ConclusionsPre-CABG HRQoL scores may provide clinically relevant prognostic information beyond traditional risk models and prove useful for patient-provider shared decision-making and enhancing pre-CABG informed consent.

Improved outcomes in CABG patients with atrial fibrillation associated with surgical left atrial appendage exclusion
ConclusionsConcomitant LAA exclusion via an epicardial closure device is associated with reduced CABG mortality, thromboembolic events, and readmissions in patients with pre ‐existing atrial fibrillation.

Impact of postoperative complications after cardiac surgery on long ‐term survival
ConclusionsPostoperative complications after cardiac surgery significantly impact outcomes that extend beyond the postoperative period. Stroke, renal failure, and pneumonia are particularly associated with poor long ‐term survival.

Predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation after myocardial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass: A retrospective cohort study
ConclusionOff ‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting proved a safe and effective procedure, with low postoperative atrial fibrillation occurrence, for myocardial revascularization. Chronic renal insufficiency and the use of venous‐origin graft solely proved to be independent predictor factors for PAOF.

Mid ‐term outcomes of simultaneous coronary artery bypass graft surgery and septal myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: A case‐controlled study
ConclusionsThe cardiovascular death and cardiovascular events are significantly increased in patients with HOCM and CAD who underwent CABG at the time of septal myectomy.
