Methods All patients from 01/2003 to 2/2010 who had CMR ≤30 days prior to CABG were included. RVF was graded as normal (nRVF) or reduced (rRVF). Outcome variables included intensive care unit length of stay ICU-LOS, hospital LOS (H-LOS), 30 day, and long term mortality. Short ICU-LOS was defined as ≤ 24 hours and prolonged ICU-LOS as >48 hours. Short H-LOS was defined as ≤ 5 days and prolonged H-LOS as > 14 days. Society of thoracic surgery (STS) mortality risk scores was calculated. Outcomes were evaluated between the nRVF and rRVF groups using Fisher’s exact test, MannWhitney test and logistic regression for statistical analysis.
