To achieve, or not to achieve complete revascularization

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2016 Sep;88(3):338-9. doi: 10.1002/ccd.26709.

Abstract

Prior to minimally invasive valve surgery, a strategy of complete revascularization did not impact overall survival. Angiographically guided revascularization may have resulted in unnecessary procedures. A larger sample size and greater atherosclerotic burden may be needed to observe an impact with complete revascularization.
