The Bob Harrington Show - Episode 11: Contemporary approaches to coronary revascularization with Dr Gregg Stone

Summary: ur mechanistic understanding of revascularization issues in ischemic heart disease patients has improved tremendously thanks to OAT, COURAGE, SYNTAX, BARI 2D, and countless smaller studies. What about the broader picture? Dr Gregg Stone joins me to address fundamental issues that are essential for a truly contemporary approach to revascularization: (1) Is the "anatomy-driven" cardiology model flawed? (2) What are the true advantages of coronary revascularization over vastly improved medical therapy? (3) What do we need to learn about optimal patient selection? (4) How can cardiologists and surgeons work better together to improve patient outcomes? (5) What advances does the future have in store? What are your thoughts?
