Do hospitals and surgeons with higher coronary artery bypass graft surgery volumes still have lower risk-adjusted mortality rates?
Background—Studies that are the basis of recommended volume thresholds for CABG
surgery are outdated and not reflective of recent advances in the field. This study examines …
