Key result
Review outlines current evidence and expert preferences for coronary conduits and grafting strategies in CABG.
Why the study?
The choice of coronary conduits for CABG has been studied and debated for decades, with implications for long-term surgical outcomes.
This review outlines the rationale and practices for selecting coronary conduits and configuring grafts during CABG based on current evidence and institutional experience.
May guide conduit selection in CABG; leaves open need for RCTs to define optimal strategies.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) continues to be an effective therapy for many patients with lasting long-term durability and consistent outcomes, despite the development of percutaneous revascularization. The long-term outcome for surgical revascularization depends on multiple variables, including the choice of conduits. However, the choice of coronary conduits has been studied and debated for decades now. In this review article, we examined the current evidences and described our choice on coronary conduits and grafting strategies at our medical center.
