title: [Preoperative tests before coronary artery revascularization].
abstract: Coronary artery bypass grafting needs a carefull preoperative screening in order to avoid unexpected adverse events during and after the operation. The purpose of this paper is to present the routine preoperative screening before coronary artery bypass grafting. The Euroscore permits comparison of real mortality compared with expected mortality. The Euroscore allows also quality control in institutions performing open cardiac surgery.
