  • Title: Assessment of patients with previous CABG.
    Author: Maroto LC, Silva JA, Rodríguez JE.
    Journal: EuroIntervention; 2009 May; 5 Suppl D():D25-9. PubMed ID: 19736066.
    Abstract:
    Patients undergoing coronary re-operations have a higher risk profile. Also reoperations are technically more demanding and can be very challenging to perform. This patient group commonly has severe and diffuse distal coronary artery disease and aortic and non-cardiac atherosclerosis. Some technical hazards, including the presence of patent arterial grafts and/or diseased vein grafts are common. A careful preoperative assessment and planning of the surgical technique are mandatory.
