[HSF] angiogram and Denying CABG

[john pj]

Are there any guidelines about what type of   vessels   should be considered not suitable for grafting based on angiography
   I think there is lot  of variation between surgeons in interpreting and accepting patients for CABG. Many times we note that vessels which were considered small by angiography are not so when we look at them on table.
   
  We refuse about 20% of the patients referred   for CABG based on angiograms.
  I wish to know   what is the    situation with others.
