Abstract:
Coronary revascularization (CRV), mainly by means of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery, has been developed nowadays to rescue patients with myocardial ischemia. Nevertheless, the recurrent angina after coronary revascularization (RACR) remains a concernful problem in clinical practice, its management is still a real challenge to physicians. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of RACR become vital for keeping the benefits of CRV. The common causes of RACR and the adoptable integrative medical approaches for its diagnosis and treatment were discussed in this paper.
