Abstract:
Coronary artery bypass grafting, also known as CABG, is now in its sixth decade and continues to be the most frequently performed cardiac surgery in the world. This review summarizes evidence regarding the role of CABG in modern-day management of coronary artery disease and discusses the latest developments in perioperative care and outcomes. Future directions include expanding the use of multiarterial grafting, which has the potential to maximize patient longevity and lower risk for adverse events; offering patients less-invasive approaches; and enhancing operative recovery.
