Title: | Does prior coronary stenting compromise future coronary surgery? | Authors: | Velicki, Lazar | Issue Date: | 1-Feb-2013 | Journal: | Interventional Cardiology (London) | Abstract: | There has been a tremendous growth in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) with stent implantation, even in cases where coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) demonstrates superior long-term results-the cases of multivessel coronary disease. With the number of PCIs on the rise, one may expect a growing population of patients with prior PCI to be ultimately referred to CABG as a result of long-term PCI failure, incomplete revascularization or disease progression. It has been suggested that previous PCI might be considered as a risk factor with a negative impact on subsequent CABG procedure. Several large observational studies found that multiple previous coronary stenting has a negative effect on the outcome of a subsequent surgical revascularization-the higher the stent load the worse the outcome. Nevertheless, no definitive conclusion can be made at this point, as this issue is still a matter of significant controversy. © 2013 Future Medicine Ltd. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/9138 | ISSN: | 17555302 | DOI: | 10.2217/ica.12.82 |
