Prefer CABG over everolimus-eluting PCI in multivessel CAD; challenges consensus on PCI equivalence.
Does PCI with everolimus-eluting stents improve major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease compared to CABG?
In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, CABG is associated with a lower rate of major adverse cardiovascular events compared to PCI with everolimus-eluting stents.
Park et al. (2015) studied this question. In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, PCI using everolimus-eluting stents led to a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events compared to CABG.
