Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Approximately 5%-10% of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients will undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) during the same hospital admission. In this study, we analyse the time from STEMI to CABG and its impact on operative mortality, morbidity, hospital stay, and cost. METHODS: The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) was reviewed for STEMI patients who underwent CABG in the same hospitalization from 2016 to 2022. Patients were grouped by time from STEMI to CABG:
