To assess the immediate and long\-term outcome of PCI in patients after CABG and identify prognostic factors of major adverse cardiac events \(MACE\) in a long term follow\-up.Two hundred and thirty six consecutive pts \(81.4% men, mean age 63.1±8.2, range 40\-82 years\) undergoing cardiac catheterizations for recurrent angina in the mean time of 93.2 ± 48.1 \(1\-267\) months after CABG were evaluated. The culprit lesion was identified on the basis of angiography of native vessels and coronary bypass grafts. Then the pts were qualified to PCI, reCABG or conservative therapy. Patients underwent long term clinical follow up, including the CCS class, recurrent cardiovascular hospitalization or occurrence of MACE \(such as death, heart infarct, repeated PCI\). The underlying cause of symptom recurrence was identified as follows\: svg insufficiency in 92 \(39%\) patients, atherosclerosis progression in native vessels in 44 \(18.6%\) patients. Both reasons for symptom recurrence were seen in 59 \(25%\) patients. In 41 \(17.4%\) pts patent, properly performing bypass grafts were found in the absence of nv atherosclerosis progression\; thus the reason for symptom recurrence in those pts remains unidentified.
