3: ACC AHA Updated Guidelines on Coronary Revascularization. Part 1

Cardio Buzz

Coronary revascularization; the bread and butter of modern cardiology practice and it got new guidelines! Jointly issued by the American Heart Association, American College of cardiology and the sky, and also reviewed by American Association for Thoracic Surgery, the guideline document was published simultaneously in JACC and in circulation less than a month ago. Noteworthy that these are first guidelines on the topic in 10 years. Several practice-changing trials were published in the same period. This long-waited document comes to replace or retire five guidelines partially or totally, not only 2011 PCI and CABG guidelines, but also will replace sections in STEMI guidelines, ACS guidelines and stable IHD guidelines. So this is a document not to miss!
