Trends and Challenges in CABG Mortality<br />
Per<strong>for</strong>mance of CABG has declined as first-line treatment <strong>for</strong><br />
coronary artery disease with advances in PCI technology.<br />
Current estimates of mortality following PCI are approximately<br />
1%, while those <strong>for</strong> isolated CABG are approximately 2%.<br />
Surgical community recently challenged by cardiothoracic<br />
surgical leadership to achieve a ≤1% CABG mortality rate in next<br />
3-5 years.<br />
Feasibility of this goal remains unknown.
