Why the study?
Does coronary-artery bypass grafting improve long-term survival in patients with two or more diseased coronary arteries compared to stent implantation?
Does coronary-artery bypass grafting improve long-term survival in patients with two or more diseased coronary arteries compared to stent implantation?
In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, CABG is associated with better long-term survival compared to stenting.
May favor CABG in multivessel CAD; leaves open whether RCTs will confirm the observational survival benefit.
For patients with two or more diseased coronary arteries, CABG is associated with higher adjusted rates of long-term survival than stenting.
