(1) Background: Disparity in clinical care on the basis of gender, socioeconomic status, ethnic and racial variation is an established phenomenon. The focus on health disparities was led on by the report of the Secretary’s Task Force on Black & Minority Health, which emphasized that the burden of death and illness was in excess among black people and other minorities. In Saudi Arabia, cardiac health care is being provided to a heterogeneous group of patients during pilgrimage time. This mixed population comprises different socio-economic backgrounds, demographics, ethnicities and languages. This study was carried out to assess for any disparities in cardiac surgical outcomes after isolated CABG surgery between Saudi citizens and non-Saudi patients. (2) Methods: The data of 2178 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery at King Abdullah Medical City from December 2014 to July 2020 were extracted. Patient demographics, clinical features, comorbidities, diagnoses, surgical procedures, complications, length of hospital stay and mortality were included in the data. The primary outcome was mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. (3) Results: A total of 2178 isolated CABG procedures were conducted during the study period with almost 57.5% of patients being Saudi citizens in comparison with 42.5% of non-Saudi citizens. The male gender represented the majority of the population, with a total of 1584 patients, representing 72.7% of the total study population. The rate of mortality had no statistical significance with the mortality rate of 5% vs. 5.3% (p < 0.786). The postoperative morbidities were comparable for all the parameters except for postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). (4) Conclusions: In the present study, the chances of survival and postoperative outcomes are not associated with nationality per se, but with underlying comorbidities.

Gastrointestinal (GI) complications after cardiac operations are of rare occurrence, but it has a high mortality rate. Mechanical bowel obstruction is even much rarer to occur. Here we are reporting a case of middle-aged male who developed a mechanical bowel obstruction soon after an aortic valve replacement surgery and was timely and successfully diagnosed and managed.
