Coronary artery bypass (CABG) has evolved over the decades, supported by scientific evidence from robust studies. The downgrade of the recommendation for CABG in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease proposed by the 2021 ACC/AHA/SCAI Guideline for Coronary Artery Revascularization and the 2023 ACC/AHA Chronic Coronary Disease Guidelines has brought this discussion to the fore, with prestigious cardiothoracic surgery societies such as AATS and STS not supporting these recommendations. The purpose of this article is to broaden this discussion in light of published studies. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
