Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening complication, with a deceptive clinical presentation following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: We identified 13 studies on PE in post-CABG patients, spanning a period of 34 years. Results: The overall cumulative incidence of PE following CABG was 1.3% (111 PEs in 8553 CABGs). Conclusion: We suggest further prospective randomized studies to examine the effect of saphenous system vein grafting, and choice of low molecular weight heparin prophylaxis on the incidence of post-CABG PE.
