Comorbidities documented prior to index hospitalization included hypertension (85%, 94\/111), diabetes mellitus (57%, 63\/111), coronary artery disease (CAD) (47%, 52\/111), and at least one prior cardiac surgery or intervention (31%, 34\/111). Support was planned in 30% (33\/111) of cases and unplanned in 70% (78\/111). 30-day survival was 89.2% (99\/111) and 1-year survival of 74.8% (83\/111). No statistically significant differences in mortality were observed according to performance of concomitant procedures or operative time periods (2018\u20132020 vs. 2021\u20132025).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In high-risk low-EF patients undergoing CABG, TMFP support during the same hospitalization was associated with acceptable 30-day and 1-year survival outcomes among patients considered unsuitable for PCI and\/or advanced therapies at the time of surgery. Mortality was not significantly different among patients undergoing concomitant procedures or between planned vs. unplanned TMFP placement. These findings support TMFP's growing role in complex coronary surgeries and warrant further studies to define optimal application and surgical candidacy.<\/jats:p>\n
