CABG is a surgical procedure that creates a new blood vessel pathway using an artery or vein from another part of the body to bypass a blocked coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart muscle. Proper treatment requires extensive surgical experience and a well-organized clinical system.
The assessment evaluated several indicators, including the total number of CABG surgeries performed at each hospital, the rate of using internal thoracic arteries, prescription rate of antiplatelet agents at discharge, rates of reoperation due to postoperative bleeding or hematoma, mortality rate, readmission rate, and average hospital stay.
Gil Medical Center achieved an excellent overall score of 96 points, earning the top grade. Notably, the hospital has consistently received Grade 1 ratings in every CABG assessment since the evaluation program began in 2010.
The Cardiovascular Center at Gil Medical Center continues to deliver outstanding outcomes in complex and emergency cardiac surgeries through close multidisciplinary collaboration among specialists in cardiology, cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, pediatric cardiology, anesthesiology, and radiology.
