Key result
Coronary revascularization with PCI or CABG requires optimal medical therapy as a fundamental prerequisite, with CABG remaining the preferred strategy for high-risk patients with multivessel disease and diabetes.
Why the study?
Understanding the latest evidence on coronary revascularization via PCI or CABG and the importance of optimal medical therapy is essential for managing coronary artery disease.
The choice between PCI and CABG for stable coronary artery disease should be individualized based on anatomical risk (e.g., SYNTAX score) and comorbidities like diabetes, with optimal medical therapy serving as the fundamental prerequisite.

OMT prerequisite before revascularization; supports CABG preference in high-risk multivessel disease with diabetes but leaves individualized selection open.

Yoshihisa Nakagawa (2021) conducted a review in Coronary Artery Disease. Coronary Revascularization (PCI and CABG) vs. Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) was evaluated. Coronary revascularization with PCI or CABG requires optimal medical therapy as a fundamental prerequisite, with CABG remaining the preferred strategy for high-risk patients with multivessel disease and diabetes.
