High risk individuals with severe occlusion and other risk factors may require revascularisation as well as medical therapy. In Australia, the two most common surgical interventions are:
- PTCA – Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, which is also known as PCI – Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
- CABG – Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
