Early emergent coronary bypass after failed angioplasty

N J Med. 1993 May;90(5):385-91.

Abstract

Emergency CABG for failed coronary angioplasty was required in 3.3 percent of 1,625 consecutive patients undergoing angioplasties. Twenty-six percent of the patients died in the perioperative period. Efforts must be concentrated on identifying PTCA failure prior to cardiogenic shock.
