Abstract
Many patients with angina secondary to coronary artery disease (CAD) respond to medical management or can be completely revascularized using available percutaneous coronary interventions or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). There is evidence, however, to indicate that up to 25% of patients are incompletely revascularized following CABG, and that incomplete revascularization is a…

Background
Heart disease, specifically coronary artery disease (CAD), is the leading cause of death and disability among both men and women in the US. Reductions in blood supply due to narrowings of the arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients (coronary arteries) result in chest pain and shortness of breath and may lead to permanent scarring of the heart muscle, as in the…
