The patient was a 67-year-old man who was referred for surgical revascularization of coronary artery disease. Three months earlier, he had undergone emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the right coronary artery. He had a...
This international consensus document from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), and World Heart Federation (WHF) updates myocardial infarction (MI) classification...
The authors present a case of post-myocardial infarction ventricular pseudoaneurysm repair with mitral valve replacement and coronary revascularization performed through a minimally invasive left anterior minithoracotomy via the fourth intercostal...
This single-center retrospective study evaluated whether stenosis in the intervening left anterior descending artery (iLAD), between the internal thoracic artery (ITA) anastomosis and diagonal bifurcation, affects ITA-LAD graft events after...
Across 252,408 angiograms performed by 40 interventional cardiologists in British Columbia (2010–2024), the proportion of patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) varied 13-fold (2.03 percent–26.4 percent) and was...

This video demonstrates a proximal anastomosis, attaching a graft vessel to the aorta in a coronary artery bypass graft procedure. The authors break the anastomosis into five steps: preparation, creating...
Once again, analyses of studies that are ostensibly well-designed randomized controlled trials have limitations that do not answer the question at hand: are two-arterial CABGs better than one? This editorial...
Bob Kiaii of the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, Canada, makes the case for a hybrid approach to coronary revascularization. He argues that hybrid revascularization is a useful component...
A 54-year-old man presented three months after coronary bypass surgery with a large aneurysm from the left ventricle (LV). Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a wide-mouthed aneurysm arising from the lateral...
