Reoperation may relieve symptoms with low mortality in selected post-CABG patients; leaves open long-term outcomes and requires randomized confirmation.
Does a second operation for myocardial revascularisation improve symptoms in patients with intractable angina after a previous coronary bypass?

Pidgeon et al. (1985) studied this question.
