  • Title: Coronary revascularization--2009: state of the art.
    Author: Taggart DP.
    Journal: Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2009; 21(3):196-8. PubMed ID: 19942116.
    Abstract:
    Despite advances in percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting remains the most effective intervention for complex coronary artery disease in survival, freedom from reintervention, and cost-effectiveness. To ensure that patients have access to this "gold-standard" treatment, a multidisciplinary team approach, rather than an individual cardiologist acting as a "gatekeeper," should be the standard of care when intervention is necessary, to ensure transparency, real patient choice, and genuine informed consent.
