Include information about: vein and/or artery harvesting likely length of hospital stay recovery time drug treatment after the procedure. People with stable angina whose symptoms are satisfactorily controlled with optimal medical treatment 1.5.11 Discuss the following with people whose symptoms are satisfactorily controlled with optimal medical treatment: their prognosis without further investigation the likelihood of having left main stem disease or proximal three-vessel disease the availability of CABG to improve the prognosis in a subgroup of people with left main stem or proximal three-vessel disease the process and risks of investigation the benefits and risks of CABG, including the potential survival gain. 1.5.12 After discussion (see 1.5.11) with people whose symptoms are satisfactorily controlled with optimal medical treatment, consider a functional or non-invasive anatomical test to identify people who might gain a survival benefit from surgery. Functional or anatomical test results may already be available from diagnostic assessment. [This recommendation partially updates recommendation 1.2 of the NICE technology appraisal guidance on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for the diagnosis and management of angina and myocardial infarction.] 1.5.13 After discussion (see 1.5.11) with people whose symptoms are satisfactorily controlled with optimal medical treatment, consider coronary angiography when: functional testing indicates extensive ischaemia or non-invasive anatomical testing indicates the likelihood of left main stem or proximal three-vessel disease and revascularisation is acceptable and appropriate. 1.5.14 Consider CABG for people with stable angina and suitable coronary anatomy whose symptoms are satisfactorily controlled with optimal medical treatment, but coronary angiography indicates left main stem disease or proximal three-vessel disease. 1.6 Pain interventions 1.6.1 Do not offer the following interventions to manage stable angina: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) acupuncture.
