Why the study?
Outcomes from real-life clinical studies regarding the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease remain poorly investigated.

Real-world MVD data show similar mortality and MI rates with CABG versus PCI; leaves open optimal strategy selection pending randomized trials.
Does CABG compared to PCI improve 5-year outcomes in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease?
In real-world practice, CABG and PCI for multivessel CAD show similar 5-year mortality and MI rates, but CABG reduces repeat revascularization at the cost of increased stroke risk.
