Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an essential revascularization intervention for advanced coronary artery disease (CAD). However, co-morbid Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) significantly increases postoperative morbidity and mortality due to endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and impaired wound healing. This retrospective multicenter study evaluated 3,200 CABG patients from 2019–2024 across five tertiary cardiovascular centers. Patients were grouped into diabetic (T2DM, n=1,450) and non-diabetic cohorts (n=1,750). Post-operative mortality was assessed at 30-days, 6-months, and 1-year. Results demonstrated significantly higher mortality in the diabetic group (30-day mortality: 6.8% vs 3.1%), driven by sepsis, graft occlusion, and renal failure. Long-term mortality remained elevated, particularly in insulin-dependent patients. Findings stress the importance of glycemic optimization and tailored post-operative care protocols for diabetic patients undergoing CABG.
