Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) has emerged as a favorable technique over traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a select group of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Till date, multiple individual studies comparing HCR with CABG have been carried out, but no data on the potential impact of sex on the outcome of HCR exist. To fill this knowledge gap, the investigators aim to perform an international collaborative multi-center study in order to examine gender differences in short-term and long-term outcomes among patients who underwent HCR or CABG.

Till date, multiple individual studies comparing HCR with CABG have been carried out, but no data on the potential impact of sex on the outcome of HCR exist. Limited by their sample size, these individual studies may have been under-powered to detect a difference.

It involves the combination of a sternal sparing left internal mammary artery (LIMA) bypass and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for non-left anterior descending (LAD) lesions. Through minimally invasive surgical techniques, HCR carries the potential for faster recovery postoperatively, fewer in-hospital complications, and lower utilization of healthcare resources, while providing the key benefits of LIMA-LAD grafting.
