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.
