Abstract
HEMORRHAGE necessitating reexploration after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a frequent complication with significant adverse consequences. Reexploration for bleeding, which occurs after 2% to 6% of CABG procedures, has been associated with case-fatality rates as high as 22%.1 Patients undergoing reexploration for bleeding also consume considerable resources, including blood products and those related to prolonged intensive care and overall hospital stays.1-4Keywords
