Implication

May offer a treatment option for recurrent ischemia after CABG; leaves open need for prospective studies before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Does urgent PTCA relieve recurrent ischemia caused by distal anastomotic stenosis in a saphenous vein graft within 24 hours of CABG surgery?

P
Population
Patient with recurrent ischemia within 24 h of CABG surgery due to a distal anastomotic stenosis in a saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass graft
I
Intervention
Urgent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
O
Outcome
Relief of recurrent ischemiapatient reported

Urgent PTCA can successfully relieve recurrent ischemia caused by early saphenous vein graft anastomotic stenosis following CABG.
