PY - 2014 DA - 2014/01/02 TI - Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: The Past, Present, and Future of Myocardial Revascularisation SP - 726158 VL - 2014 AB - The development of the heart-lung machine ushered in the era of modern cardiac surgery. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) remains the most common operation performed by cardiac surgeons today. From its infancy in the 1950s till today, CABG has undergone many developments both technically and clinically. Improvements in intraoperative technique and perioperative care have led to CABG being offered to a more broad patient profile with less complications and adverse events. Our review outlines the rich history and promising future of myocardial revascularization.
