Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are
considered revascularization procedures, but only CABG can prolong life in stable coronary …

The global prevalence of diabetes has risen in adults from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. 90–
95% of adults with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes (T2D). This paper focuses on the …

The Japanese Circulation Society (JCS) published the “Guidelines for elective percutaneous
coronary intervention [PCI] in patients with stable coronary disease” in 2000. In 2006 …

Background More than 90% of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed with a
single-arterial bypass graft (SABG), based on the left internal thoracic artery (ITA) with …

The main aim of the present study was to predict myocardial function improvement in cardiac
MR (LGE-CMR) images in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using …

Observational and randomized evidence shows that arterial grafts have better patency rates
than saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) in coronary artery bypass grafting. Observational studies …

Aim. Optimal revascularization strategy in multivessel (MV) coronary artery disease (CAD)
eligible for percutaneous management (PCI) and surgery remains unresolved. We …

At the present time, there is no successful synthetic, off-the-shelf small-caliber vascular graft
(< 6 mm) for the repair or bypass of the coronary or carotid arteries. This stimulates on-going …

Objectives This meta-analysis compares total arterial revascularization (TAR) versus
conventional coronary artery bypass and additionally to two arterial grafts. Methods We …

Recent evidence shows that multi-arterial coronary artery bypass grafting (MABG) based on
bilateral internal thoracic (BITA) or left internal thoracic (LITA) and radial artery (RA) …
