Invasive angiography and revascularization in patients with stable angina following prior coronary artery bypass grafting: Results from the East Denmark heart registry

Abstract: Invasive angiography leads to revascularization in a quarter of patients with angina and prior CABG; the threshold for referral may be too low. Non-invasive stress testing predicts the need for revascularization but appears underused and MPS, in particular, may better identify patients likely to require revascularization. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Many patients who underwent CABG go through repeated cardiac catheterization and necessitate consequent revascularization therapy [24] [25]. It is essential to note that the distinction between recurrent chest pain due to angina from other causes of chest pain requires investigations and imaging studies of the heart [21].…”

“…Recurrent angina symptoms and ischemia have been reported in 18% of patients at 5 years after CABG, which increases to 40–50% at 10 years and up to 60% at 15 years postoperatively [ 5 7 ]. Indeed, many prior CABG patients undergo repeat cardiac catheterization and require subsequent revascularization therapy [ 8 , 9 ••, 10 ]. The clinical evaluation and diagnostic work-up of patients with recurrent angina after CABG is challenging.…”

“…1 ) [ 11 •, 12 ]. Furthermore, current guideline recommendations on patient management are limited since post-CABG patients have often been underrepresented or excluded in large diagnostic and revascularization trials [ 1 •, 2 •, 10 , 13 , 14 •, 15 •]. Late recurrent angina in patients with prior CABG is common and often requires individualized decision-making by the Heart Team.…”
