Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with prior valvular surgery is not common, but carries increased risks of mortality and morbidity. In this article, we review and summarize our approach for such patients including preoperative evaluation, operative techniques, and postoperative care. Also, tips and pitfalls are described in detail by presenting our cases.
