Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the cornerstone of surgical revascularization. This Special Issue, titled “Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Contemporary Clinical Research Update,” will highlight recent clinical evidence that advances patient selection, perioperative management, procedural strategies, and long-term outcomes. We invite the submission of original research and high-quality analyses addressing contemporary topics such as multi-arterial grafting (including bilateral internal thoracic and radial conduits), off-pump and minimally invasive/robotic approaches, and enhanced recovery and perioperative care pathways.
We particularly welcome studies focused on graft durability and patency, including intraoperative assessment, postoperative imaging and surveillance, anastomotic devices/technology, and optimization of antithrombotic and secondary prevention strategies. Submissions using randomized trials, real-world registries, and modern analytic methods (including risk prediction and stratification) are encouraged.
We are especially interested in works involving complex and under-studied patient subsets—such as diabetes, left main or multivessel disease, reduced ejection fraction, frailty, and women’s cardiovascular health—as well as contemporary comparisons of CABG with PCI, and studies of hybrid or staged revascularization strategies. Our goal is to provide clinicians and researchers with practical, data-driven insights that improve durable revascularization and patient-centred outcomes.
