Recurrent angina after bypass surgery: evaluation by early and late arteriography

Abstract Arteriographic correlates of recurrent angina pectoris were obtained in 98 patients undergoing both early ( The present study indicates that late recurrent symptoms may be anticipated after bypass surgery, since for the most part, they are due to progressive atherosclerotic process in the native circulation. Primary graft failure plays only a minor role in producing recurrent symptoms. Thus, continued control of risk factors, especially lipid abnormalities, is warranted after bypass surgery.
