The finding that unadjusted survival estimates favored PCI and adjusted survival estimates favored CABG for patients with two-vessel disease without LAD-artery involvement can be explained by the ...

CABG was also associated with significantly lower mortality in patients with two-vessel disease either with involvement of the proximal LAD artery (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0. ...

Relying on iFR/FFR values from the LCx alone could mean many patients with left main disease miss out on revascularization.

The idea of combining PCI and CABG stems from the widespread agreement ... a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is grafted to the LAD. The reason, Cohn explains, is that that a catheter-based ...

"Compared to CABG," the investigators concluded ... would only be used if a patient were referred for a LIMA to LAD anastamosis, but that in these patients MIDCAB is "still the procedure of ...

Grafting the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) has been the "biggest benefit" of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and is what makes it better than ...

“This is a Swedish trial, and it's rarely used. These patients, 99% had a [LITA-to-LAD] graft, but none of them had arterial grafts. That reflects clinical practice, at least in our part of the world.

And when women finally are referred for bypass surgery, they continue to be disadvantaged, since they often do not receive CABG with LIMA to LAD, complete revascularization, or multiarterial ...
