artery bypass grafting to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for initial …

OBJECTIVES.: We attempted to determine the relative risks and benefits of percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and repeat coronary artery bypass grafting (re …

The first 1,000 patients undergoing primary isolated myocardial revascularization each year
from 1971 to 1978 were analyzed to define the incidence of reoperation and to elucidate the …

A consecutive series of 2645 patients underwent primary coronary bypass grafting while
4S8 patients underwent reoperative bypass during a 9-year period. The mean age (61 …

To assess the changing trends in patient profiles, operative indications and techniques, and
their impact on the results of reoperative myocardial revascularization, we reviewed the …

Patients currently undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting will likely have worse early
and late results because of the selection of patients with fewer risk factors for percutaneous …

Predictors for a reintervention following a successful first re-do surgical revascularization
(CABG) were examined. Success and limitations of the reintervention procedures were …

We analyzed trends in clinical, angiographic, and operative variables and documented long-
term survival in 2509 consecutive patients who underwent reoperation for myocardial …

Objective—To define the incidence, possible causes, operative procedure, and early and
medium term results of patients undergoing reoperation for coronary artery disease. Design …

To assess the operative mortality and long-term results in patients undergoing repeat
