Abstract

There is no retrospective review reported analyzing the risks and complications associated with the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. To determine the significant risk factors for CABG surgery and to determine the incidence of various post-operative short- and long-term complications of CABG, MEDLINE, NHS Evidence and Web of Science databases were searched in a systematic way. An effort was made to review the 2015- to date researches but no date limits were imposed. Furthermore, a total of 9,704 research articles were identified dealing with CABG surgery on the initial bases; however, the current review has been restricted to 176 articles on the basis of relevancy towards the investigated topic. There was no national or international protocol identified for the distinctive relationship between CABG surgery and the incidence of various commodities, particularly atrial fibrillation, stroke, renal failure chronic ischemia, respiratory complications and diabetes. The critical analysis of different strategies aimed at the prevention of post-operative incidence of diseases suggested the careful evaluation of each method prior to surgery. CABG surgery done on patients with the previous history of different comorbidities gave rise to the worst health quality within a short time after surgery. Such ailments not only induced the long- and short-term complications among patients but also extended the hospital admissions and readmissions that influenced the economic status of the patient as well imposed a heavy burden on the health care resources of the hospitals.
