What is the outcome of coronary angioplasty versus repeat coronary artery bypass grafting for patients with previous bypass surgery?
A study by Stephan et al. (1996) found that the outcome of coronary angioplasty versus repeat coronary artery bypass grafting for patients with previous bypass surgery was favorable for both treatments, with no significant difference between them. However, angioplasty was associated with fewer postoperative complications and reduced hospital stay.
