Seventeen studies totaling 8235 patients and 14,781 SVG grafts were included. There was no significant difference in follow-up SVG patency rates between men and women (incidence rate ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.90-1.03, p = .24), with mean angiographic follow-up of 33.5 months (standard deviation 29.2). Leave-one-out and cumulative analysis were consistent with the main analysis. We concluded that follow-up SVG patency rate is similar between men and women undergoing CABG.
