New ESC/EACTS Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization

Fifty years after the first coronary artery bypass grafting procedure, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) have collaborated to issue guidelines regarding myocardial revascularization. In these guidelines, ESC and EACTS provide recommendations for revascularization of stable coronary artery disease, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and revascularization in patients with different risk factors. The authors underline the importance of interaction between cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and referring physicians for choosing the best possible revascularization approach.
