In medicine, coronary artery bypass is a form of myocardial revascularization that is a "surgical therapy of ischemic coronary artery disease achieved by grafting a section of saphenous vein, internal mammary artery, or other substitute between the aorta and the obstructed coronary artery distal to the obstructive lesion.'[1]

Technique

Use of the left internal mammary artery for a source improves outcomes.[2] Use of a radial artery for a source may improve outcomes.[3]

Surgery is best done with cardiopulmonary bypass using a heart–lung machine[4]

Effectiveness

Patient who have a left ventricular ejection fraction between 35 and 49 percent benefit from coronary artery bypass surgery if they have disease of three coronary arteries.[5].

Coronary artery bypass is more effective for myocardial revascularization of coronary heart disease than percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty[6], especially for patients with diabetes who have stenosis of three coronary arteries.[7] Coronary artery bypass is also more effective than percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with drug-eluting stents; however, bypass may increase the rate of stroke.[8] The SYNTAX score may help determine choice of procedure for myocardial revascularization.[9]

Major randomized controlled trials of surgery for chronic stable angina
Trial results
Veterans Administration cooperative study
1977
686 patients[10]
3 year survival was 87% of the medical group and 88% of the surgical group. No significant difference.
Coronary Artery Surgery Study
(CASS)
1984
780 patients[5]
The 5 year survival 92% with medical therapy and 95% with surgery (not significant). "The likelihood of nonfatal Q-wave myocardial infarction was 11 and 14 per cent, respectively (not significant). The five-year probability of remaining alive and free of infarction was 82 per cent in the patients assigned to medical therapy and 83 per cent in the patients assigned to surgery (not significant)."
European Coronary Surgery Study
1988
767 patients[11]
5 year survival was 92% with surgery and 83% with medical therapy.
Pooled results[12] Surgery fared better except for patients with one or two vessel disease with neither vessel being the LAD or left main.
