During the period January, 1970, through June, 1977, 1,541 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting; 241 of them were women (15.6%). Operative mortality rates for the entire study were 2.4% in men and 3.7% in women, but they showed a marked decline in women during 1975 to mid-1977, with only 2 deaths in 140 patients (1.4%). Women comprised a larger percentage of patients (16.7%) in these later years.
Women were slightly older, received fewer grafts, had better preservation of ventricular function on preoperative studies, and had more severe anginal symptoms than men. Patency rates were significantly lower in women at 1 month, 1 year, and 3 years. Five-year survival was not significantly different between women (88.3%) and men (93.5%). Many of these findings may be explained on the basis of women having smaller coronary arteries than men.
These favorable results differ from earlier reports of higher mortality rates in women and indicate that myocardial revascularization should not be withheld from female patients.
