Zusammenfassung

Die European Society of Cardiology und die European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery haben im September 2010 erstmals gemeinsam eine Leitlinie zur myokardialen Revaskularisation herausgegeben. Die neue Leitlinie stellt den ganzheitlichen Ansatz in der Behandlung ischämischer Herzerkrankungen in den Vordergrund. Auf dem Boden des aktuellen Wissenstands entwickelt sie interdisziplinär abgestimmte Behandlungskonzepte für die konservative, katheterbasierte und chirurgische Therapie. Die Leitlinie nimmt Stellung zu Fragen der Indikationsstellung zur koronaren Revaskularisation, zu Fragen der Präferenz von Bypasschirurgie oder Katheterintervention sowie zu technischen und pharmakologischen Aspekten der myokardialen Revaskularisation. Der vorliegende Kommentar will auf wichtige Neuerungen aufmerksam machen, kritische Punkte hinterfragen und die Umsetzbarkeit im Bereich des deutschen Gesundheitswesens beleuchten. Berücksichtigt werden dabei auch neuere Studienergebnisse, die erst nach der Entstehung der Leitlinie bekannt wurden.

Abstract

In September 2010 the European Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) published joint guidelines on myocardial revascularization for the first time. The new guidelines promote an integrated approach to the management of ischemic heart disease. Based on currently available evidence the new guidelines elaborate interdisciplinary treatment concepts for conservative, catheter-based and surgical therapy. The guidelines address the indications for myocardial revascularization, the choice of bypass surgery versus catheter intervention as well as technical and pharmacological aspects of myocardial revascularization. This commentary intends to highlight important new aspects, to challenge critical issues and to address the implementation in the environment of the German healthcare system. New study results that appeared after publication of the guidelines are also considered.
