In 2023, Italy performed 19,000 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures. Forecasts for the period 2024-2028 show a consistent decline in CABG volumes, from 18.3 thousand in 2024 to 15.61 thousand in 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease ranges from 3.54% in 2024 to 4.05% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 shows an average annual decline of approximately 3.87%.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased use of alternative, less invasive cardiac treatments and technologies may continue to reduce CABG demand.
Emphasis on preventive healthcare could also contribute to a declining need for surgical intervention.
Demographic changes and healthcare policies could impact the accessibility and necessity of advanced surgical procedures.
