- The association between obesity and graft failure after coronary artery bypass grafting has not been previously investigated.We pooled individual patient data from randomized clinical trials with systematic post-operative coronary imaging to evaluate the association between obesity and graft failure at the individual graft and patient levels. Penalized cubic regression splines and mixed-effects multivariable logistic regression models were performed.Six trials comprising 3,928 patients and 12,048 grafts were included. The median time to imaging was 1.03 (IQR, 1.00-1.09) years. By body mass index (BMI) category, 800 (20.4%) patients were normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9), 1,668 (42.5%) were overweight (BMI 25-29.9), 983 (25.0%) were obesity class 1 (BMI 30-34.9), 344 (8.8%) were obesity class 2 (BMI 35-39.9), and 116 (2.9%) were obesity class 3 (BMI 40+). As a continuous variable, BMI was associated with reduced graft failure (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.98 [95% CI, 0.97-0.99]) at the individual graft level. Compared to normal weight patients, graft failure at the individual graft level was reduced in overweight (aOR 0.79 [95% CI, 0.64-0.96]), obesity class 1 (aOR 0.81 [95% CI, 0.64-1.01]), and obesity class 2 (aOR 0.61 [95% CI, 0.45-0.83]) patients, but not different compared to obesity class 3 (aOR 0.94 [95% CI, 0.62-1.42]) patients. Findings were similar, but did not reach significance, at the patient level.In a pooled individual patient data analysis of randomized clinical trials, BMI and obesity appear to be associated with reduced graft failure at one year after coronary artery bypass grafting.

- In the ISCHEMIA trial, the risk of ischemic events was similar in patients with stable coronary artery disease treated with an invasive (INV) strategy of angiography and percutaneous (PCI) or surgical (CABG) coronary revascularization and a conservative (CON) strategy of initial medical therapy.To analyze separately the outcomes of INV patients treated with PCI or CABG.Patients without preceding primary outcome events were categorized as INV-PCI or INV-CABG from the time of revascularization. The ISCHEMIA primary outcome (composite of cardiovascular death, protocol-defined myocardial infarction (MI) or hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure or resuscitated cardiac arrest) was used.Among INV-CABG patients, primary outcome events occurred in 84/512 (16.4%) at median follow-up of 2.85 years; 48 events (57.1%) occurred within 30 days after CABG, including 40 procedural MIs; among INV-PCI patients, primary outcome events occurred in 147/1500 (9.8%) at median follow-up of 2.94 years; 31 of which (21.1%) within 30 days after PCI, including 23 procedural MIs. In comparison, 352/2591 (13.6%) CON patients had primary outcome events at median follow-up 3.2 years, 22 of which (6.3%) within 30 days of randomization. The adjusted primary outcome risks (HR [95%CI]) were higher after both CABG and PCI within 30 days (16.25 (11.44-23.07) and 2.99 (1.97-4.53)) and lower thereafter (0.63 (0.44-0.89) and 0.66(0.53-0.82)).In ISCHEMIA, early revascularization by PCI and CABG was associated with higher early risks and lower long-term risks of cardiovascular events compared with CON. The early risk was greatest after CABG, due to protocol-defined procedural MIs.
