Highlight
Patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with expedited discharge (within 4 days) experienced significantly reduced hospitalization costs, shorter hospital stays, and decreased risk of 30-day readmission compared to routine discharge (>4 days). Expedited discharge was safely achieved without increasing mortality or major complications and was more common among younger, male, and privately insured patients.
