BACKGROUND: Among patients in need of coronary revascularization before an elective
vascular operation, the value of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus …

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the proposed cardiac protective effect
of previous coronary revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG] or …

Despite consensus guidelines, the optimal strategy for preoperative cardiac risk
management among patients scheduled for major noncardiac surgery remains …

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that coronary artery bypass surgery reduces the risk
of cardiac complications after noncardiac surgery. Whether coronary angioplasty provides …

Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting is being performed with increasing frequency,
in part as a function of the increasing pool of patients who have undergone initial coronary …

Although an increased surgical risk of ischemic myocardial disease is widely accepted,
amelioration of this risk after coronary artery bypass is poorly defined. We compared the …

Background Recent studies suggest that preoperative coronary revascularization overall
does not improve outcomes after noncardiac surgery. It is not known whether this holds true …

Patients undergoing vascular surgery are at increased risk for cardiac complications related
to the presence of underlying coronary artery disease. Preoperative cardiac evaluation may …

Background. This study sought to determine whether extensive arterial grafting reduces the
prevalence and consequences of infarct after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods. Post …

Abstract From 1988 through 1991, 1663 patients underwent a first reoperation for isolated
coronary bypass grafting with 62 (3.7%) in-hospital deaths. At the primary operation, 575 …
