Key result
Coronary artery bypass grafting remains the standard of care for patients with complex multivessel disease, left main coronary artery disease, diabetes, or left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Why the study?
Coronary artery bypass grafting remains the most frequently performed cardiac surgery globally, prompting a summary of its role in modern CAD management, perioperative care, and future directions.
This review provides an overview of current practice trends and future projections for coronary artery bypass grafting in the management of coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery bypass grafting, also known as CABG, is now in its sixth decade and continues to be the most frequently performed cardiac surgery in the world. This review summarizes evidence regarding the role of CABG in modern-day management of coronary artery disease and discusses the latest developments in perioperative care and outcomes. Future directions include expanding the use of multiarterial grafting, which has the potential to maximize patient longevity and lower risk for adverse events; offering patients less-invasive approaches; and enhancing operative recovery.

Ramsingh et al. (2025) conducted a review in Ischemic heart disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or medical therapy was evaluated. Coronary artery bypass grafting remains the standard of care for patients with complex multivessel disease, left main coronary artery disease, diabetes, or left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
