“…There is a wide variation in the reported results of endarterectomy in conjunction with CABG, most showing less favorable results, especially after endarterectomy to the LAD.4-6 Operative mortality rates range from 0% to lo%, perioperative MI rates range from 5 % to 30%, and patency rates range from 38% to l OO%, with 74% to 95% of patients being asymptomatic. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] This wide discrepancy in clinical outcome is partly explained by different patient selection criteria, myocardial protection methods, and surgical techniques. A randomized controlled trial is required to clearly discern which patients benefit the most from endarterectomy, but this kind of study probably will never be performed.…”

“…The limitations of the present clinical study are as follows: (1) the number of patients was small, (2) we only had CFVR data in 8 patients, (3) we did not carry out long-term clinical follow-up, and (4) this was a retrospective observational study and not randomized.…”

“…Coronary endarterectomy has been used to treat severely or diffusely diseased coronary arteries since the 1950s [1]. However, early experiences of this method were not associated with satisfactory clinical results [2][3][4]. More recently, the benefits of endarterectomy for the left anterior descending artery (LAD) have gradually become recognized because surgical techniques and technologies have evolved [5,6].…”

“…Medical treatment is the best way to avoid this sequence of events. Livesay et al [21] and Chesebro et al [22] recommended the use of acetylsalicylic acid and dipyridamol postoperatively, whereas Ferraris et al [14] prescribed the use of warfarin for three months after the surgery. Gill et al [23] recommended another treatment option in which intravenous heparin was infused for the first 48 hours postoperatively, which was then followed by the use of thienopyridine derivatives (ticlopidine and clopidogrel).…”
