Post CABG myocardial ischemia and infarction – A review

Abstract

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is recommended for patients with obstructive coronary artery disease to improve survival and quality of life. Patients receive arterial and venous grafts as conduits to improve coronary circulation. There are factors that can lead to periprocedural myocardial necrosis, and there are factors resulting in late recurrent angina after CABG. In this article, an attempt has been made to review these details.
