Outcomes among patients with coronary artery bypass grafts presenting with acute coronary syndrome: impact of revascularization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) can re-present with acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, culprit lesion identification, as well as revascularization, is often challenging. Furthermore, the impact of revascularization in this patient group is relatively unknown.

Objectives

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with previous CABG surgery presenting with ACS.

Methods

Using data from the Manitoba Center for Health Policy, we identified patients treated with CABG between April 1979 and March 2018, who subsequently presented with the primary diagnosis of ACS. Patients were divided into four groups: (1) managed medically and not investigated by cardiac catheterization and
