“…this may probably be related to the dual circulation and the more common occlusion of secondary branches is due to the protection of the main coronary arteries by the bypass vessels. The case presented here might be of interest for the signifi cantly shorter time interval between the ACS and the prior CABG surgery than the interval varying between the median of 4-12.5 years, as reported in the previous study [5].…”

“…In the AWESOME RCT and registry, overall in-hospital mortality was higher with CABG than with PCI [7]. A new major coronary event after CABG surgery can be due to progression of atherosclerosis in native arteries and/or development of vascular disease in the graft [5]. Both events were true for this patient, especially with regard to ostial lesions.…”

“…Despite the indisputable benefit of CABG surgery in reducing morbidity and mortality [1], acute myocardial infarction (MI) still reported with an incidence of 3% to 8% annually following bypass graft surgery [2]. In patients with ACS, some of the previous reports suggested prior CABG as an independent risk factor for mortality [3], [4], while others reported equal or even more favorable prognosis when compared to non-BABG patients [5][9]. A recent global rising in the number of ACS was observed in patients with prior CABG [10], as a result of the worldwide increasing numbers of bypass surgeries performed annually [11], [12] and in the consequences of the angiographically recognized loss of vein graft after surgery (50% become diseased and 25% occluded) by 5 years [2].…”
