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.

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),

Prediction of postoperative stroke in patients experienced coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, its postoperative complications can have a significant effect on long-term patient outcomes. 33 preoperative clinical features and 4 postoperative complications were collected in each group.

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

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP332-AWP332, February 1, 2025. Patients were then divided into two cohorts with or without carotid-cerebral artery disease (defined as stenosis of any carotid, vertebral or intracranial artery50%). vertebral artery (19.5%, 390/2004). and common carotid artery (17.3%, 347/2004).

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). 1.52]) or without (155/1634 [9.7%] versus 142/1655 [8.9%]; hazard ratio, 1.08 [95% CI, 0.86–1.36;PintHR=0.87)

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.

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

FAME 2 Purpose FAME 2 sought to evaluate whether FFR-guided PCI plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) was superior to OMT alone in patients with stable CAD and at least one functionally significant stenosis (FFR 0.80). for PCI vs. 6.9% We can’t force it to happen.
