About this area of training

Coronary surgery fellowships focus on surgical revascularisation, including complex and redo CABG, off-pump surgery and multiple arterial grafting. In most cases coronary training forms part of a broader advanced adult cardiac fellowship.

This page collects every listed fellowship that names coronary, CABG or OPCAB in its title or focus line, so you can find posts that give structured exposure to revascularisation alongside valve and aortic work.
