Abstract:
Surgical coronary revascularization, especially in geriatric patients, is technically demanding and requires careful patient selection, selection of type of procedure, and postoperative care. Recent advances in coronary revascularization, especially in the variety of minimally invasive approaches and beating heart surgery, has enabled surgeons to operate upon elderly patients with improved results.
