Key result
This review highlights the continued survival benefit of CABG over PCI for complex multivessel disease and discusses the evolving evidence base for off-pump surgery, arterial grafting, and less invasive valvular procedures.
Why the study?
Cardiac surgery remains a key treatment for coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and heart failure, with evolving surgical techniques and outcomes requiring synthesis of recent evidence.
This narrative review provides a comprehensive summary of recent pivotal trials in adult cardiac surgery, reinforcing current guidelines that favor CABG for complex multivessel coronary disease.

Ben Bridgewater (2013) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and heart failure. Adult cardiac surgery vs. PCI, medical therapy, or conventional surgical techniques was evaluated. This review highlights the continued survival benefit of CABG over PCI for complex multivessel disease and discusses the evolving evidence base for off-pump surgery, arterial grafting, and less invasive valvular procedures.
