Postoperative outcomes of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: A meta-analysis
2019
Introduction:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequent comorbid disease in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, with an incidence ranging from 4% to 20.5%. Conventionally, COPD was recognized as a surgical contraindication to CABG. Because of the recent improvements in surgical techniques, anesthesia, and postoperative management, CABG has been performed more commonly in patients with COPD. However, studies have shown the various effects of COPD on postoperative morbidity and mortality after CABG, and this remains to be well defined.
