Excellent reporting by @michaelTCTMD who really dug into the essence and the importance of this study. CSP #474 is the largest RCT to date with the longest and most complete follow-up comparing RA vs. SVG in #CABG @EACTS @VAsurgeons @CircAHA @DeptVetAffairs @AATSHQ @STS_CTsurgery

CABG is durable and saves lives. This patient had stable angina 25 years ago. There is absolutely no other therapy that could have kept this patient alive today. Now, with occluded LM and RCA. The left mammary supplies the entire heart through collaterals.

Ms. Kolata @ginakolata your article title @nytimes misrepresents the findings of the trial. Stents are not heart surgery. Most surgery is warranted and done on patients with severe coronary disease and symptoms. That’s why trial only had a minority of CABG patients #ISCHEMIA

An eye opener: Operative mortality of 17% for open surgery after TAVR. Although rare, we will be seeing more of this as more patients get TAVR. Experience in complex cardiac procedures is paramount in mitigating the risk and optimizing outcomes.

Among the small fraction of patients who undergo redo surgery for a failed TAVR device, outcomes are worse than for those receiving initial surgical aortic valve replacement, according to registry data @ojawitzMD
