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.

Abstract 4139995: Scoring System-Based Approach for Identifying Patients With Positive Intracoronary Acetylcholine Provocation Tests: The Original and Modified ABCD Score

Circulation

Patients without data on C-reactive protein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and those who had a history of coronary artery bypass grafting and stenting in the left anterior descending artery were excluded. The original and modified ABCD score were calculated as shown in Figure 1.

Target Lesion Revascularization Not Linked to Increased Mortality After PCI with DES for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Cardiology Update

Despite target lesion revascularization (TLR) being a known occurrence after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease, uncertainties persist regarding its timing and impact on long-term mortality. 1.63; P = 0.73).

What is coronary artery bypass surgery CABG?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

When medications and/or procedures like balloon angioplasty are unable to re-establish good blood flow to the heart, these blood vessels can be bypassed by an operation known as coronary artery bypass grafting or CABG. When veins are used, a long piece of vein from the leg is harvested.
