Mapping decision making for bypass surgery in the era of interventional medicine: towards an integrative model of patient-centeredness

Minerva Cardioangiol. 2020 Oct;68(5):469-479. doi: 10.23736/S0026-4725.20.05228-7. Epub 2020 Jul 10.

Abstract

This article reviews the context and evidence of recent myocardial revascularization trials on PCI versus CABG with particular emphasis on patient selection and treatment of surgical patients. Moreover, one of our intended purposes is to identify the values underpinning the integrated care model, which incorporates decision to proceed with surgical myocardial revascularization in conjunction with established pillars of the use of optimal surgical techniques, and aggressive risk-factor modification through guideline-directed pharmacological therapies and lifestyle modifications.
