Fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio in coronary artery bypass grafting: a meta-analysis and practice review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Both indexes have been extensively validated in clinical trials in guiding revascularisation in patients with stable ischaemic heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with improved clinical outcomes. However, the role of these tools in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is less clear.

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).

Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. The median CABG SYNTAX score was 16 (interquartile range: 9.0–23),

Relationship between uric acid to albumin ratio and saphenous vein graft disease in patients with coronary artery bypass graft

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective Saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD) remains a challenging issue for patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods We retrospectively enrolled 237 patients who underwent elective coronary angiography (CAG) for stable angina or positive stress test results >1 year after CABG.

Transcatheter Valve and Vessels

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the TCW trial was to test the noninferiority and, if positive, superiority, of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in severe aortic stenosis (AS) with comorbid coronary artery disease (..)

Abstract WP332: Association between Neurological Complications and Carotid-cerebral Artery Disease after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Stroke Journal

Patients were then divided into two cohorts with or without carotid-cerebral artery disease (defined as stenosis of any carotid, vertebral or intracranial artery50%). Results:Of the overall 1002 patients, the most susceptible arteries of stenosis50% were internal carotid artery(34.2%, 686/2004).
