In this article, the author reflects on 60 years of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), outlining its origins, the role of early surgical-cardiology collaboration, and its place alongside advances in medical therapy. Despite improvements in guideline-directed treatment, patients with extensive coronary disease still rely on CABG.
