Hi, guys. It might be a small point but I changed the intro to 'coronary artery bypass graft surgery', as this is more precise. I'd suggest a move. - Richardcavell 14:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
I made many changes to this article to help improve its accuracy. If there are any issues, let me know and I will explain further. You cannot talk about on pump bypass surgery without mentioning the aortic cross clamp and the perfusionist. Partial clamp grafts are done while still on bypass, so they don't reduce bypass time. Respiratory therapists do not intubate patients before surgery. Nearly all bypass surgeries use the LIMA and the saphenous vein. The other arteries are rarely used.

Why is there an external link section and no external links? 24.22.24.208 ( talk) 03:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Would a diagram be useful, to make the article easier to understand? Ultra two ( talk) 17:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
The risks located on this page should be cleaned up. The broad general surgical risks should be moved to the "Surgery" page. General cardiac surgery risks should be moved to the higher level "cardiac surgery" page.
The statements regarding lack of comparison to placebo is very unbalanced and should be removed. The reality is there are many good trials demonstrating superiority of CABG to medical management and / or PCI. It is unethical to conduct any form of "sham surgery". If these statements are to be included as the second side of a debate, the citations for the original research studies must be provided. Dlodge ( talk) 22:58, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
It says in the article that: " The older patient can usually be expected to suffer further blockage of the coronary arteries". There is no indication what is meant by "older". Could this be added? Aixroot ( talk) 09:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Can we get a subject matter expert to restore NPOV? I know as FACT WITNESSED (pity it's OR), that patients who had cardiac bypass surgery survived for a generation, whereas those who were denied, due to insurance issues, did not. I lack the time necessary to dig into the NIH archives and WHO archives to give balance to that section. Wzrd1 ( talk) 04:28, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I came looking for information on what the difference was between a double/triple etc. bypass. I can't find any information here, not any reference to double/triple anything anywhere in the article. Seems a little odd, seeing as every time I hear someone has this surgery there is always some kind of number prefix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.199.1 ( talk • contribs) 14:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
In the illustration, I cannot see the difference between the triple and quadruple. Maybe a description would help. 108.203.48.183 ( talk) 16:01, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
