In patients with NSTE ACS, clinical practice guidelines recommend either PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting revascularization as an early treatment for high-risk patients, and that such an approach also be considered for moderate-risk patients. An early invasive approach results in fewer Mis, less need for revascularization procedures over the next year after hospitalization, and lower cost than the conservative medical stabilization approach. 

In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, clopidogrel (but not aspirin) should be withheld at least 5 days and preferably 7 days before the procedure. 

Apart from its role in atherogenesis, recent observations suggest that high Lp(a) levels are also associated with early occlusion of coronary artery bypass grafts and femoropopliteal vein grafts (H33, W17). In this situation, however, a thrombotic rather than an atherogenic mechanism may be responsible for the events.

Modifications of the Bratton-Marshall method mentioned in Section IV.D.3.g can be used for sensitive spectrophotometric detection and determination of primary aromatic and heterocyclic amines. Thus, a simple spectrophotometric determination of the cardioprotective agent acadesine (142) was developed, to measure concentrations of the drug in plasma during intravenous infusion to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery336.

Acute coronary syndrome For patients with acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina/non-Q-wave Ml) including patients who are to be managed medically and those who are to be managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (with or without stent) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), clopidogrel has been shown to decrease the rate of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death. Ml, or stroke, as well as the rate of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death. Ml, stroke, or refractory ischemia. 

Meloxicam is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery)... 

For patients with chronic CAD, nuclear imaging is essential for addressing the following major clinical issues (i) detection of ischemic myocardium, (ii) differentiation between viable hibernating or stunned myocardium and scar tissue in mechanically dysfunctional regions, and (ill) risk stratification for future major adverse events. Such information provides the basis for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass (CAB) surgery and assessing their outcomes based on detection of residual ischemia and recovery of contractile function.
