Abstract

Angina pectoris has been reported to recur after initial revascularization at rates of 3.5%–7.2%/year [1, 3, 4, 9, 13, 14, 16, 19]. Fortunately the reported results from repeat coronary artery bypass grafting have been encouraging: mortality ranged from 0% to 12.5% [2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 21] and less than 3% in a few reported series [10, 14]; perioperative myocardial infarction has been reported, depending on definition, in 5%–15% of cases [1, 5, 7–9, 12–14, 16, 19]; at 5 years 30%–55% of patients remained markedly improved [1, 2, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 21].
