Abstract:
In 2018 the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) published an update of the guidelines on myocardial revascularization from 2014. In these updated guidelines both associations agreed on joint recommendations concerning myocardial revascularization.

This article summarizes the most important changes of the ESC/EACTS guidelines on myocardial revascularization.
