Ongoing studies on the long-term outcomes of CABG and percutaneous interventions continue to refine patient selection and treatment strategies for coronary artery disease.
May support tailored CAD revascularization decisions; leaves open optimal long-term strategies pending trial maturation.
The treatment of coronary artery disease in general and the results achieved with coronary artery bypass grafting in particular continue to be intensely studied. Long-term follow-up from ongoing studies and the studies of the role of percutaneous interventions continue to provide new information. The refinement of our understanding of long-term outcome in various subsets of patients, preoperative risk factors, technical modifications, and postoperative interventions will influence the selection of appropriate treatment for patients with coronary artery disease.
