Coronary artery bypass grafting: Part 1--the evolution over the first 50 years

Abstract: Surgical treatment for angina pectoris was first proposed in 1899. Decades of experimental surgery for coronary artery disease finally led to the introduction of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1964. Now that we are approaching 50 years of CABG experience, it is appropriate to summarize the advancement of CABG into a procedure that is safe and efficient. This review provides a historical recapitulation of experimental surgery, the evolution of the surgical techniques and the utilization of CABG. Furt… Show more

“…Surgery for myocardial revascularization has been widely carried out all over the world by virtue of the high technical development and favorable results. However, the results also depend on the clinical condition of the patient, who often has multiple factors for cardiovascular risk and associated comorbidities (7)(8) .…”

“…1 Rates of revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention) have also increased in both the United States and Europe. [2][3][4][5] As a consequence, rates of many diabetes-related cardiovascular events have declined substantially in the past two decades. 6 In addition, mortality among diabetes patients experiencing myocardial infarction (MI) has fallen, 7 probably because of both the availability and use of tests to diagnose less severe and hence less life-threatening disease and the increased use of medical and surgical therapies.…”
