Early and late determinants of survival after surgery of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity998 @entity63 @entity439 @entity951 @entity1188 @entity1002
The fate of 103 @entity1 consecutively operated upon for chronic @entity1002 between 1978 and 1986 was examined with a multivariate statistical approach to verify the operative indications and results. In the early risk phase, up to 39 days after operation, 15 @entity1 (15%) died. Mortality was mostly due to a @entity998 and was significantly related to older age and to functional (NYHA) and anginal (CCS) class. In the late risk phase, starting 1.9 years after surgery, 9 @entity1 died (10%) and the significant risk factors were anterior @entity439 and older age at operation. Actuarial survival curves showed 82% survival at 5 years and 61% at 9.5 years. In 25 @entity1 older than 50 years and with an anterior @entity439 , these rates were 51% and 34%, respectively. Improved functional class was observed in 87% of the @entity1 interviewed, but 30% complained of @entity951 or new @entity1188 . Survival free of @entity63 was 64% at 5 years and 13% at 9.5 years. This development of @entity63 recurrences was significantly related to older age and to incomplete revascularization despite multiple grafts. These results suggest modification of the grafting policy and of the techniques of repair in identified high-risk subsets.
