    Emergency bypass surgery for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) is less common than PCI or thrombolysis. From 1995 to 2004, the percentage of people with cardiogenic shock treated with primary PCI rose from 27.4% to 54.4%, while the increase in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) was only from 2.1% to 3.2%.

    Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is an alternative to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for patients with ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). CABG is associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality, repeat revascularization, and myocardial infarction compared to PCI.

    CABG usually relieves angina, but in some patients it reoccurs. Around 60% of patients will be angina-free 10 years after their operation. [33] Myocardial infarction is rare five years after a CABG, but its risk increases with time. [34] The risk of sudden death for CABG patients is low. [34]
