Sex-related Differences in Outcome After Hybrid Coronary Revascularization

Sex-related Differences in Outcome After Hybrid Coronary Revascularization Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: The SEX-HYBRID Study

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.
