Why the study?
Does multivessel coronary stenting reduce repeat interventions and improve survival compared to historical multivessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty?
Does multivessel coronary stenting reduce repeat interventions and improve survival compared to historical multivessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty?
Multivessel coronary stenting is associated with a lower need for repeat revascularization compared to historical balloon angioplasty, while maintaining similar long-term survival.
Does not support practice change from observational data; leaves open randomized confirmation of multivessel stenting benefits.
Multivessel coronary stenting can be performed with high success rate and low need for emergency bypass surgery. Compared with historical results with multivessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, patients who undergo multivessel stenting need less repeat interventions, in particular, less coronary bypass surgery and have similar long-term survival.
