Key Points

Prior to minimally invasive valve surgery, a strategy of complete revascularization did not impact overall survival.
Angiographically guided revascularization may have resulted in unnecessary procedures.
A larger sample size and greater atherosclerotic burden may be needed to observe an impact with complete revascularization.
