Key result
Composite CABG reduces aortic manipulations and ischemic stroke risk while enabling revascularization despite lacking conduits.
Why the study?
To present historical insights, current concepts, and variants of composite coronary artery bypass grafting, addressing challenges such as conduit shortages and stroke risk.
Composite coronary artery bypass grafting is a valuable technique for myocardial revascularization, particularly when conduit availability is limited, and can reduce ischemic stroke risk by minimizing aortic manipulation.

Supports composite CABG in conduit-limited cases to reduce stroke; leaves open randomized confirmation.
The article presents the historical insights into composite coronary artery bypass grafting, current concepts and its different variants. A smaller number of manipulations on the aorta during the procedure has been proved to reduce significantly the risk of ischemic stroke. However, it requires off-pump technology, which is still controversial despite all its advantages. No doubt, composite or compound bypass grafting allows performing myocardial revascularization even if there is a lack of conduits. A particular concern has been paid to the connection between the arterial and venous conduits, therefore emphasizing the relevance of composite coronary artery bypass grafting.

А.А. et al. (2019) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease requiring myocardial revascularization. Composite coronary artery bypass grafting was evaluated. Composite coronary artery bypass grafting reduces aortic manipulations and the risk of ischemic stroke, enabling myocardial revascularization even when conduits are lacking.
