Key result
Percutaneous revascularization in NSTEMI patients with prior CABG was associated with adjusted 30-day and 1-year mortality similar to patients without prior CABG, regardless of the target vessel.
Why the study?
Does PCI target (native vessel vs bypass graft) affect mortality in NSTEMI patients with prior CABG compared to those without prior CABG?
Population
205,039 patients with NSTEMI who underwent PCI between 2007 and 2014
Comparison
PCI to native coronary or PCI to a bypass graft vs PCI to native coronary

In NSTEMI patients with prior CABG, PCI to either native vessels or bypass grafts yields similar adjusted short- and mid-term outcomes compared to PCI in patients without prior CABG.

Alkhouli et al. (2018) conducted an editorial in Non-ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) (n=205,039). PCI in patients with prior CABG vs. PCI in patients without prior CABG was evaluated on 30-day and 1-year mortality. Percutaneous revascularization in NSTEMI patients with prior CABG was associated with adjusted 30-day and 1-year mortality similar to patients without prior CABG, regardless of the target vessel.
