Implication
Whether angiographic vessel diameter predicts post-CABG injury remains unproven; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Structured PICO
Does smaller grafted vessel calibre predict the occurrence of irreversible myocardial injury after CABG?
P
Population
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) who were previously randomly assigned to on-pump or off-pump techniques
I
Intervention
Grafting of smaller calibre coronary vessels (assessed by angiographic grading of target vessel diameter)
O
Outcome
Occurrence of irreversible myocardial injury after grafting assessed by delayed-enhancement MRIsurrogate
This study aims to determine if angiographic grading of target vessel diameter predicts irreversible myocardial injury after CABG using delayed-enhancement MRI.
