Background Outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are known to be
dependent on attending surgeon volume, but the impact of resident experience is unknown …

BACKGROUND: At our institution, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations are
performed by staff surgeons or by first-or second-year cardiothoracic residents under the …

Background: There is a relative dearth of information on how the resident's level of training
affects patient outcomes in cardiac surgery. We designed this study to determine if there …

BACKGROUND: Data are limited regarding the patency of coronary artery bypass grafts
performed by residents versus attending surgeons. METHODS: We analyzed data from a …

Background The present study aimed to describe and compare the operative experience of
cardiothoracic surgical residents for basic and advanced cardiac surgical procedures …

Objective In recent years, concerns have been raised about the learning opportunities
available to cardiac surgical trainees. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the …

BACKGROUND: A price of training residents in cardiothoracic surgery is often perceived to
be a loss in intraoperative efficiencies, leading to prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and …

Objective Controversy exists regarding ideal approaches in teaching residents complex
and/or new surgical techniques in part because consequences on patient outcomes are …

OBJECTIVE: The effect of training on outcomes in cardiac surgery is poorly studied. We
aimed to study the results of coronary artery bypass grafting procedures performed by …

The learning curve of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with multiple arterial grafting
(MAG) is perceived to be associated with increased surgical morbidity and potentially poorer …
