What is coronary revascularization?

Several: Procedures that restore coronary flow distal to the obstructed area. Range from anastomosis of a living blood vessel from the aorta or another artery to the coronary artery distal to the obstruction, or endoluminal procedures. Live conduits are favored by longevity. For an acute event, endoluminal emergency procedures may prove lifesaving.

CABG or PCI: Two major categories of revascularization treatment: CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is a surgical procedure, and PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is a catheter procedure.
