Insurance Status and Risk of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Adults with Coronary Artery Disease
2026
2026
Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Many patients require invasive procedures such as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery when disease progresses. Insurance status affects access to preventive care, medication adherence, specialty referral, and advanced cardiac treatment. Uninsured patients often delay care and rely on emergency departments. Delayed treatment increases disease severity. Severe CAD increases the likelihood of requiring CABG. Socioeconomic disparities also influence surgical outcomes and financial burden after cardiac surgery. Understanding whether uninsured adults are at higher risk of undergoing CABG helps guide equitable practice and policy decisions. Uninsured patients often delay care and rely on emergency departments. Delayed treatment increases disease severity. Severe CAD increases the likelihood of requiring CABG. Socioeconomic disparities also influence surgical outcomes and financial burden after cardiac surgery. Disparities in access and outcomes create a significant public health concern. Understanding whether uninsured adults are at higher risk of undergoing CABG helps guide equitable practice and policy decisions.
