Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a major surgical operation where atheromatous blockages in a patient’s coronary arteries are bypassed with harvested venous or arterial conduits. The bypass restores blood flow to the ischemic myocardium which, in turn, restores function, viability, and relieves anginal symptoms. Almost 400,000 CABG surgeries are performed each year making it the most commonly performed major surgical procedure, but surgical trends have decreased as the use of alternative options such as medical treatment and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have increased.
Angina may return after apparently successful CABG.
Late recurrent angina after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is diagnosed when a patient with symptoms consistent with angina is found to have evidence of myocardial ischemia on stress testing with imaging, significant obstructive coronary artery lesions on coronary arteriography, or evidence of an acute coronary syndrome. It should be confirmed that patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are receiving appropriate secondary prevention therapies, including the prescription of antiplatelet and statin therapy, routine exercise (and referral to cardiac rehabilitation programs in some patients), glycemic and blood pressure control, and counseling for smoking cessation.
For patients in whom repeat revascularization is not felt to be necessary, many can have their symptoms controlled with use of these preventative strategies as well as with the use of antianginal medication. In general, starting with an antianginal regimen that was previously effective for the patient is recommended.
