Key result
Percutaneous coronary intervention and minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting are evolving approaches for treating single-vessel and multivessel coronary artery disease.
This chapter reviews the rationale, indications, and results of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting versus percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of coronary artery disease.
These evolving revascularization options support individualized selection in CAD; leaves open need for randomized head-to-head trials in multivessel disease.
At present, percutaneous coronary intervention procedures as well as minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG) surgery are procedures in evolution. This chapter examines the rationale, indications, and results of both approaches for the treatment of single-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as the role of MICABG in patients with multivessel CAD.
