Reoperative Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Review of Changing Pattern and Outcomes
Authored by Kamal S. Ayyat
Abstract
Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
prevalence had markedly changed over the last decades. This change had
been also noticed in patients’ risk profile and outcomes. The aim of
this review is to highlight large multi- and single-center studies
investigating the change in pattern, techniques, and outcomes of
reoperative CABG globally. It is meant to be a reference that can help
cardiac surgeons for a better understanding of our current situation
with this challenging operation.
Introduction
Since coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery was
introduced for clinical practice in the 1960s, it has demonstrated its
efficiency to improve symptoms and prognosis in patients with the
advanced coronary atherosclerotic disease [1]. As CABG patients are
getting older and living longer, reoperative CABG surgery has become an
integrative part of the cardio-surgical daily practice presenting
significant challenges in technical and decision-making aspects [2].
