    Women undergoing CABG were older and had a higher EuroSCORE II compared to men, indicating a higher baseline risk.

  • 3

    Men received more total arterial grafting and distal anastomoses, with greater use of the radial artery than women.

  • 4

    Operative and cardiopulmonary bypass times were longer in men, reflecting differences in surgical approaches.

  • 5

    In-hospital outcomes, including mortality and MACCE, were similar between sexes despite differences in baseline characteristics.
