A group of 38 patients with a second revascularization procedure was studied for factors which may have contributed to the reappearance of angina after the first operation. Our data indicate that these patients usually have the first operation at an earlier age and had fewer bypasses at that time. In addition, they had inadequate control of the plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
