Multiple procedures for coronary disease: a surgeon's perspective from the operating theatre.
To illustrate the interplay between coronary surgery and percutaneous interventions in secondary revascularisation, we report on the case of a patient with a long-standing history of ischaemic coronary disease, who underwent multiple percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and two coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures. The course of action selected for treatment was based on the anatomical features of the coronary lesions and the patient's clinical situation.
