Key result
In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease, PCI and CABG achieved similar rates of improvement in reversible ischaemia at 6 months (79% vs. 87%, P=0.9).
Why the study?

Similar ischaemia reduction with PCI or CABG; confirms comparable functional outcomes on stress echocardiography in diabetic multivessel disease.
RCT (n=71)
Does optimal percutaneous coronary intervention improve reversible ischaemia compared to coronary artery bypass grafting in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 79% vs 87%
p-value: p=0.9
In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease, both PCI and CABG achieve similar improvements in reversible ischaemia at 6 months as assessed by stress echocardiography.
Kapur et al. (2011) conducted an RCT in Diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease (n=71). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on Improvement in reversible ischaemia (p=0.9). In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease, PCI and CABG achieved similar rates of improvement in reversible ischaemia at 6 months (79% vs. 87%, P=0.9).
