Background— We investigated the association between trainees performing supervised operations and late outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods and Results— Data were prospectively collected on patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, aortic valve replacement, or a combination of these between 1998 and 2005 at the Maritime Heart Center, Halifax, Canada. In-hospital mortality and a composite outcome of in-hospital mortality, stroke, bleeding, intra-aortic…

It is possible for trainees to perform high risk cardiac surgery without compromising the quality of patient care, and NYHA class, diabetes and emergency/salvage surgery were predictors of worse composite outcome.

A systematic and structured analysis of the circumstances resulting in death in low-risk patients, in addition to traditional morbidity and mortality conferences, have the potential to identify problems and offer improvements in the quality of care.
