Angioplasty in patients with previous surgical revascularization: graft vs. native vessel?
This multicenter retrospective observational study from Australia compares the outcomes of angioplasty performed on grafts (primarily saphenous vein grafts) versus native vessels. It analyzes clinical and angiographic characteristics, adverse events, and short- and long-term mortality.
The diabetic paradox in coronary revascularization surgery
Analysis of the outcomes of the observational PRIORITY cohort, focusing on the 10-year results of patients undergoing coronary revascularization surgery and assessing the impact of diabetes mellitus.
Potential of arterial grafts in acute myocardial infarction: benefits and realities
Comparative short- and mid-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with single or multiple arterial grafts.
Management of the ascending aorta and proximal anastomoses in coronary artery bypass surgery: do we implement them?
Compilation of available tips, strategies, and techniques for managing the ascending aorta and performing proximal anastomoses in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Coronary artery bypass grafting: grafts, anastomoses, and drugs. How to do it right?
This consensus document compiles the latest evidence on the optimal management of grafts and the different technical options for coronary artery bypass surgery.
Multiple arterial revascularization through mini-thoracotomy: science fiction or imminent future?
A single-center, prospective five-year experience in multiple arterial revascularization through mini-thoracotomy, exclusively employing arterial grafts. The analysis includes clinical characteristics, adverse events, and short- and mid-term mortality.
Emergent revascularization strategy after acute coronary syndrome requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: surgery or PCI?
This study compares the outcomes of surgical versus percutaneous revascularization strategies in patients with triple vessel disease and acute coronary syndrome requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), based on retrospective data from two reference centers.

Will the fate of right coronary revascularization improve with Y-anastomosis?
This retrospective study evaluates the prevalence of competitive flow and the 1-year patency in terminal Y-anastomoses on the right coronary artery (RCA).
Reflections on PCI and TAVI in the NOTION 3 Study: The Right to Have Two Diseases, Even in the Heart… and to Have Them Treated
