Consensus statement—graft treatment in cardiovascular bypass graft surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is and continues to be the preferred revascularization strategy in patients with multivessel disease. Graft selection has been shown to influence the outcomes following CABG. Still despite the known evidence these methods are not standard everywhere.

Next day, t he patient was taken for an angiogram and found to have a reperfused LAD lesion with good flow that appeared to the angiographer as if it was a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. The lesion was stented. It seems that there was some uncertainly about this.

Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes in Left Main Coronary Revascularization: PCI vs. CABG

Cardiology Update

Left main coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care, often leading to adverse outcomes. However, the comparative long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with these conditions remains unclear.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Left Main Disease With or Without Diabetes: Findings From a Pooled Analysis of 4 Randomized Clinical Trials

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Diabetes may be associated with differential outcomes in patients undergoing left main coronary revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Circulation, Ahead of Print.

Glorifying FAME 3, could end up as academic mischief ! “PCI, in isolation can’t beat CABG, but with FFR it can”

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

The goal was to determine whether using FFR to identify functionally significant stenoses (FFR 0.80) for stenting, rather than relying solely on angiographic appearance. Inference Established that FFR-guided PCI is superior to angiography-guided PCI in multivessel CAD, reducing unnecessary revascularizations and improving outcomes.

Management and outcomes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a systematic review of the literature

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Contemporary management of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is still controversial. This systematic review of the literature aims to explore outcomes in the patients treated with conservative management vs. invasive strategy. There were initially 65.2% of conservatively treated patients vs. 33.4%
