RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 CABG: When, why, and how? JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 295 OP 303 DO 10.3949/ccjm.88a.20115 VO 88 IS 5 A1 George Dimeling A1 Laurice Bakaeen A1 Jaikirshan Khatri A1 Faisal G. Bakaeen YR 2021 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/88/5/295.abstract AB Coronary revascularization has matured as a field since coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was first developed over 50 years ago, with diagnostic and treatment methods having advanced dramatically. CABG remains the standard of care for obstructive coronary artery disease, particularly for patients with multivessel disease or diabetes. It is now recognized that not all CABG is created equal—operative strategy, including conduit choice for bypass grafts and target coronary selection, affects survival. A multidisciplinary approach including surgeons with a special interest in CABG is recommended to optimize treatment selection and outcomes.
