Multidisciplinary approach to coronary artery revascularization: Optimal strategy for high-risk patients.
Devon AndersonSarah ChenJeffrey SouthardJorge Manuel Catrip-TorresBob KiaiiPublished in: Journal of cardiac surgery (2022)
High-risk patients that are not candidates for conventional coronary artery bypass grafting surgery can undergo coronary artery revascularization through less invasive procedures. Hybrid approaches have emerged to address coronary artery disease in this subset of patients. This case report highlights the successful application of a multidisciplinary heart team approach for hybrid coronary revascularization in a very high-risk patient with complex coronary anatomy, who would not otherwise be a candidate for conventional modalities of revascularization. The optimal workup, selection criteria based on anatomy, anticoagulation strategies, and timing of intervention of hybrid coronary revascularization are outlined in this case report.
