While isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) poses major risks as well as benefits to cardiovascular surgery, procedures such as thoracic aortic surgery and combined CABG surgeries are also important contributors to mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to create and validate risk models including high-risk cardiovascular procedures to improve quality.
