This study aims to analyze the impact of MAG on in-hospital outcomes and identify potential risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis was conducted from all patients who underwent CABG surgery in our development from January 2022 to December 2024. A generalized mixed-effects model and sensitivity analysis were employed to evaluate the influence of the type of CABG bypass graft on in-hospital major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), postoperative dialysis, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use, re-thoracotomy for bleeding and sternal wound infection (SWI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 960 patients were included in this study. Patients who received MAG surgeries had more coronary artery lesions observed preoperatively. Compared with patients who underwent single arterial grafting (SAG), those who received MAG surgery did not show significant differences in the incidence of in-hospital MACCEs, postoperative dialysis, IABP use, re-thoracotomy or SWI. Interestingly, good left ventricular function was associated with a reduced occurrence of postoperative dialysis, MACCEs, and IABP application. Chronic renal insufficiency emerged as a risk predictor of major in-hospital adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This single-center study did not find significant differences in short-term outcomes between MAG and SAG groups. However, caution should be exercised when applying these findings to other clinical environments and patient populations. Further multi-center, prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to validate and extend our results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2025.1661006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,5]],"date-time":"2025-11-05T06:29:08Z","timestamp":1762324148000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison in trends and outcomes of multiple vs. single arterial coronary bypass graft surgery"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Qiuju","family":"Ding","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e4","DOI":"10.1161\/cir.0000000000001039","article-title":"2021 ACC\/AHA\/SCAI guideline for coronary artery revascularization: executive summary: a report of the American College of Cardiology\/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines","volume":"145","author":"Lawton","year":"2022","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"657","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(94)70320-5","article-title":"Surgical treatment of isolated left anterior descending coronary stenosis.
