Impact of prior coronary stenting on the outcome of subsequent coronary artery bypass grafting

摘要

BackgroundThe percentage of patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) who have previously undergone percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is increasing. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of patients who had received coronary stenting before CABG, and to examine the validity of a mortality risk stratification system in this patient group.
