Myocardial revascularization is urged to improve symptoms and to provide
a better prognosis [1]. The concept of complete revascularization
was grounded in early stages [2,3] but recent studies have reported
conflicting results [4,5]. Very few clinical studies to date have
been conducted to evaluate the impact of complete or incomplete
revascularization [2-10]. For this reason, recent guidelines do not
undoubtedly support the issue of complete revascularization [1].
One of the reasons that contribute to the wide discrepancies in the
reported studies is that there are several different definitions of
complete revascularization on coronary surgery across the literature
[11]. Despite the importance of this definition there is no
agreement on which one has the most impact. We believe that a uniformly
accepted definition of complete coronary revascularization is lacking.
The aim of this study was to evaluate which definition of complete
surgical revascularization correlates with early and late outcomes.
