Key result
Revascularization surgery for angina pectoris can be expected to provide symptomatic relief in 80% to 90% of patients, with an operative mortality well below 5%.
Why the study?
Does revascularization surgery provide relief of symptoms in patients with angina pectoris?
Does revascularization surgery provide relief of symptoms in patients with angina pectoris?
Revascularization surgery is highly effective for relieving angina pectoris with low operative mortality in appropriately selected patients.
May support revascularization for angina in selected patients; leaves open need for contemporary randomized confirmation.
In deciding on the best form of treatment for patients with angina pectoris, a substantial number of important factors must be carefully and individually considered. These include symptomatic status, extent and location of occlusive coronary artery disease, left ventricular functional status, and risk factors. Relief of angina pectoris with revascularization surgery can be expected in 80% to 90% of patients, with an operative mortality well below 5% when preoperative left ventricular function is normal or only moderately depressed.
