This review comprehensively examines the contemporary utilization, preoperative and perioperative considerations, and outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting in NSTE-ACS patients in the USA.
This paper reviews the contemporary utilization, perioperative considerations, and outcomes of CABG for NSTE-ACS patients in the USA.
For patients with a non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), guideline recommendations and treatment pathways focus on revascularization for definitive treatment if the patient is an appropriate candidate. Despite the widespread use of revascularization for NSTE-ACS, most patients undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention, whereas a minority of patients undergo coronary artery bypass grafting. Focusing specifically on the USA, the contemporary utilization, preoperative and perioperative considerations, and outcomes of NSTE-ACS patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting have not been comprehensively reviewed.
Yerokun et al. (Sat,) conducted a review in Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Coronary artery bypass grafting was evaluated. This review comprehensively examines the contemporary utilization, preoperative and perioperative considerations, and outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting in NSTE-ACS patients in the USA.
