Redo Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in 416 Patients: An Individualized Approach Evolving Over Time

Objectives: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the revascularization strategy of choice for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, especially for those with complex lesions and high SYNTAX scores, diabetes mellitus, and those with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Approximately 10 to 20% of patients undergoing CABG require repeat revascularization. The best operational approach remains a challenge, especially regarding the best way for cardioplegia and the revascularization technique used.
