The optimal timing and order of revascularization in hybrid coronary revascularization remains unclear.
Hybrid coronary revascularization combines minimally invasive LIMA-LAD grafting with PCI for non-LAD lesions, though the optimal timing and order of these procedures remain unclear.
Optimal timing and order in hybrid coronary revascularization remains unclear; leaves open need for RCTs to guide sequencing.
The long-term benefits of a left internal mammary artery bypass graft compared to the left anterior descending artery have been well described. The use of drug-eluting stents has minimized the morbidity of revascularization. Hybrid coronary revascularization is the planned use of minimally invasive surgical techniques for left internal mammary artery-left anterior descending artery grafting and the use of percutaneous coronary intervention for nonleft anterior descending coronary artery target revascularization. The optimal timing and order of revascularization in hybrid coronary revascularization remains unclear.
