LEFT MAIN STEM CORONARY ARTERY STENOSIS: TWO-YEAR FOLLOWUP IN 30 PATIENTS AFTER CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING (CABG)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the survival prognosis in patients with left main stem coronary artery lesion after surgical revascularisation (CABG) in first two years. Patients: Between August 2000 and August 2002, 30 patients (27 men and 3 women) were operated for left main stem coronary artery lesion. Mean age was 55.97 years. Preoperatively 28 patients presented with angina pectoris. The majority of the patients (93.3%) belonged to the New York Heart Association class III. Mean EF was 37%. Significant four-vessel disease was present in 7 patients (23%), triple vessel disease occurred in 21 patients (70%) and double vessel disease in 2 patients (7%). Significant co-morbid factors included hypertension (80%), diabetes mellitus (43%), and smoking (23.3%). All the patients were operated as an emergency. Average grafts per patient were 3.1. All patients were considered for LIMA, selection being based upon the severity of symptoms, left ventricular function, and suitability of the coronary vessels for grafting. LIMA was used to perform a bypass for LAD in 24 patients. Results: Operative mortality, defined as death within 30 days of surgery, was 6.66%. Two out of total three deaths occurred while within the hospital postoperatively. After 2 years of follow-up only one more death was observed (3.33%). All three deaths were linked to coronary conditions. Among the survivors 96.29% (26 out of 27 patients) remained asymptomatic after two years. Only one patient reported shortness of breath and was categorized under angina class I of New York Heart Association. Conclusion: Our observations suggest that post CABG survival prognosis in patients with left main stem coronary artery lesion appears very good after two years of follow-up.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
