Hybrid Coronary Revascularization Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for Treatment of Multivessel Coronary Disease
The purpose of the study is to find out if hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure outcomes are similar. HCR is a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries. CABG is a surgical procedure to open up clogged heart arteries.
• Able to give informed consent
• Have multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) involving the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery
• Have a clinical indication for revascularization
• Are a candidate for either HCR or CABG or both
• Anatomy suitable for HCR shall include
‣ Multi-vessel CAD involving the LAD and/or
⁃ LAD disease and involvement of a major diagonal artery, both of which require revascularization
