Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery vs Percutaneous Interventions in Coronary Revascularization

Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Introduction: Nowadays, with the advancement of technology and industrial life, the prevalence of heart diseases including coronary artery diseases has considerably increased. Coronary artery diseases are one of the most common and serious diseases that threaten human life. Methods: The present study is a comparative-descriptive research. The statistical ...

Complete revascularization: coronary artery bypass graft surgery versus percutaneous coronary intervention.

The concept of complete revascularization arose from the early studies on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery whereby some publications demonstrated that patients who were completely revascularized enjoyed a mortality benefit over those who were incompletely revascularized, thus setting the standard for the field of CABG.1–3 Over the past 3 decades, CABG has evolved from saphenous ve...

Systematic review: the comparative effectiveness of percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

BACKGROUND The comparative effectiveness of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients in whom both procedures are feasible remains poorly understood. PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness of PCI and CABG in patients for whom coronary revascularization is clinically indicated. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases (196...

A review on percutaneous coronary intervention vs. coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Patients With Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate long-term clinical outcomes following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with unprotected left main disease (ULMD). BACKGROUND PCI has been increasingly used as an alternative mode of revascularization for ULMD. However, there are limited data comparing clinical outcomes between CABG surgery ...
