In general, the elderly over 80 years old can use saphenous vein bypass alone, under 55 years old can consider total artery bypass, other ages can use an internal mammary artery plus saphenous vein.

Second: left main artery disease: according to the guidelines at home and abroad, surgery is the first choice for left main artery disease. Once the left main trunk is blocked or restenosis occurs, it may be fatal. In order to reduce the potential risk, heart bypass surgery is needed.

Finally: Patients with diabetes mellitus: the restenosis rate of common stents is higher in patients with diabetes mellitus, while the drug-eluting stents have been available for a short time. There is no clear evidence that interventional therapy is better than bypass.
