Abstract
Indications and timing of myocardial revascularization procedures are discussed based on the case of a 78-year-old woman suffering from effort angina due to three-vessel coronary artery disease with normal left ventricular function. At present, atherosclerotic patients have a relatively long history of their disease, so that physicians should organize therapeutic strategies resulting from a right trade-off between guidelines of international scientific societies and the peculiar clinical requirements of the individual patient in the particular stage of his/her disease. This kind of tailored therapy may result from a multidisciplinary approach (heart team), which should involve many specialists as comorbidities and frailty of the patients are numerous and significant.
