Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Aorto-coronary bypass grafting is an encouraging surgical approach that relieves angina in most patients with coronary heart disease, pending long-term prognostic data.
Coronary heart disease is now the principal cause of death in the Western world. In recent years a new surgical approach to the problem has been developed with encouraging results. The operation of aorto-coronary bypass grafting with autogenous vein relieves angina in the majority of patients. Whether or not the long term prognosis is improved is not yet known. A European multi-centre controlled trial has been organised to answer this question.
