The Living Guidelines: UA/NSTEMI Recomendations for CABG Polling Results for CLASS IIb Guidelines


 * Class IIb

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery may be considered in patients with UA/NSTEMI who have 1- or 2-vessel disease not involving the proximal LAD with a modest area of ischemic myocardium when percutaneous revascularization is not optimal or possible. (If there is a large area of viable myocardium and high-risk criteria on noninvasive testing, this recommendation becomes a Class I recommendation.) (Level of Evidence: B)

 CLASS IIb recommendation for CABG in UA/NSTEMI should be: CLASS I CLASS IIa CLASS IIb CLASS III
