Long-Term Survival Advantage of Total Arterial Revascularization in Elderly Patients Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
TAR improves long-term survival in both elderly and younger patients. These findings challenge the assumption that limited life expectancy precludes arterial grafting and support broader implementation of TAR in appropriately selected older patients. Randomized clinical trials evaluating TAR are warranted to validate these observational findings.
