Introduction[edit | edit source]
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common surgical procedure for the treatment of myocardial ischemia. The surgeon uses an artery or vein of the patient to anastomose from the aorta to the distal end of the stenosis, so that blood flow can directly supply the distal myocardium through the graft, thereby achieving the purpose of treating myocardial ischemia[1].
- Coronary artery bypass grafting remains one of the most commonly performed major surgeries, with well-established symptomatic and prognostic benefits in patients with multivessel and left main coronary artery disease.
- Despite an increasingly higher-risk profile of patients, outcomes have significantly improved over time, with significant reductions in operative mortality and perioperative complications. Five- and 10-year survival rates are ≈85% to 95% and 75%, respectively.
- A number of technical advances could further improve short- and long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting[2].
