Supports similar 1-year outcomes after noncardiac surgery regardless of prior PCI or CABG; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does prior PCI compared to prior CABG affect the risk of death, MI, or stroke in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
In patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, a history of prior PCI versus prior CABG (>6 months prior) is associated with comparable 1-year postoperative clinical outcomes.
