[What's new in the 2018 ESC/EACTS guidelines on myocardial revascularization?].

A revised version of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) guidelines on myocardial revascularization has recently been published. These guidelines represent the third time that the ESC and EACTS have brought together cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in a joint Task Force to review the available evidence, with the mission of drafting balanced, patient-oriented, clinical practice guidelines on myocardial revascularization. During the last 4 years, a large body of evidence has become available and brought substantial changes to the guidelines. This paper aims to summarize what is new in the 2018 ESC/EACTS guidelines on myocardial revascularization.
