Additional spirometry criteria predict postoperative complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) independently of concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. When is off‑pump CABG more beneficial?

Abstract

FEV1 <LLN is the best prognostic marker for post-CABG complications independently of concomitant COPD. Patients with FEV1 <LLN have better outcomes after OPCAB compared with those post-CABG.
