Lower Repeat Revascularization Rates Among Patients With Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery are Due to Lack of Adequate Target Vessels.

CONCLUSION: Among patients with multivessel CAD, repeat revascularization rates are lower among CABG patients compared with PCI patients. However, a high proportion of CABG patients with occluded grafts on repeat angiography lack targets for repeat revascularization. This may partially explain the disparity in repeat revascularization rates and suggests that future comparison studies should additionally assess angiographic outcomes.
