Abstract
Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG), which was first used to ameliorate symptoms, is now used to improve survival in selected patients with ischemic heart disease, although the improved outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has resulted in a reduction in the number of CABG procedures that are performed.2 -4 CABG remains the standard of care for patients with disease involving at least three vessels or the left main coronary artery.5 Revascularization with CABG can improve the perfusion of viable myocardium but does not restore function in areas of infarction.
