Unstable angina: A clinicoarteriographic correlation and long-term results of early myocardial revascularization

The paper presents immediate and long-term results of early invasive treatment tactics in 467 patients with various forms of unstable angina (UA), including 129 patients with unstable rest angina, 225 patients with unstable exertional angina, and 93 patients with a new onset angina. Percutaneous coronary interventions on a symptom-affected artery at a single procedure were performed in 213 cases (48%), indications for coronary artery bypass grafting were identified in 182 patients (41%), and only in 52 cases (11%) the treatment was limited to medicinal therapy. Coronary angiography performed in the initial 12–48 hours makes it possible to identify the indications to myocardial revascularization, to avoid inconsistencies in the choice of optimal treatment tactics and non-invasive risk assessment.

Observation Period

Background The method of coronary-coronary bypass grafting was described in 1987 but has not been widely used, and there are only a few studies that report good short-term and mid-term results as well as some individual cases of long-term follow-up. In our medical institution, we carried out an analysis of the long-term results of coronary-coronary bypass grafting, which are presented in this study. Methods This was a retrospective single-center study on 95 patients who underwent coronary-coronary bypass grafting as a supplement to the standard coronary bypass grafting procedure. All patients underwent angiographic assessment of the coronary bypass grafts during the long-term follow-up period. The observation period was up to 123 months. Angiographic assessment of 109 coronary-coronary grafts was carried out. Results Twelve (7.6%) arterial and 11 (19.3%) venous conduits were found to be occluded, and 8 (10.3%) arterial and 10 (31.3%) venous coronary-coronary grafts were occluded during the observation period. Conclusion Arterial coronary-coronary artery bypass grafting represents an alternative technique that allows complete myocardial revascularization.
