The “Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Adequacy Assessment” has been conducted by HIRA since 2008 in order to ensure safe and high-quality medical services for patients with ischemic heart diseases, and the assessment results are disclosed each time the assessment is carried out.   
 
This assessment was conducted on 88 advanced general hospitals and general hospitals that performed coronary artery bypass surgery from October 2020 to September 2021. Incheon Sejong Hospital received Grade 1 on assessment items such as △ the total number of coronary artery bypass surgeries, △coronary artery bypass surgery using the internal thoracic artery, △ aspirin prescription rate at discharge, △ re-surgery rate due to bleeding or hematoma, △ mortality within 30 days after surgery, and △ re-hospitalization within 30 days after discharge.
