High number of CABG procedures performed in the last decades has a great impact on the increasing number of patients \(pts\) with recurrent angina due to a saphenous vein graft \(svg\) disease or native vessel \(nv\) atherosclerosis progression. Atherosclerosis progression and bypass graft degeneration limit long\-term outcome in pts after CABG. The surgical treatment has no effect on the mechanism of the atherosclerotic disease\; bypass grafts \(and in particular the venous ones\) are known to degenerate with time. Thus surgical revascularization has created a new problem in cardiology – the problem of degenerative bypass graft disease. Inflammatory factors influence pathogenesis and natural course of native vessel and bypass graft atherosclerosis. Percutaneous procedures have become a natural, logical alternative to surgery in pts with recurrent angina after CABG. AIM\: To assess the mechanism of angina recurrence in a series of consecutive pts after CABG and to evaluate the feasibility of re\-revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention \(PCI \) or reCABG. To assess the relation"]
