BMI, body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; CKD, chronic kidney disease; PAD, peripheral arterial disease; AF, atrial fibrillation; AV, atrioventricular; CTP, Child-Turcotte-Pugh; ACVB, aortocoronary venous bypass. Data are presented as number (percentage) for categorical variables, mean standard deviation ± for normally distributed or median, and [25th und 75th percentile] for not normally distributed continuous variables. Accordingly, Chi-Quadrat, exact Fisher, Student’s t-test, or Mann–Whitney U test were used to compare
