Key result
CABG lowers long-term mortality and repeat revascularization versus PCI in multivessel and left main disease.
Why the study?
CAD is a global menace demanding effective treatment when initial medication, lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments prove ineffective as the disease progresses.
Does CABG improve long-term outcomes compared to PCI in patients with CAD?
Does CABG improve long-term outcomes compared to PCI in patients with CAD?
CABG is highlighted as the preferred revascularization method over PCI for advanced CAD, offering better long-term outcomes and complete revascularization.
May support CABG preference in multivessel disease; leaves open impact of contemporary stents in new RCTs.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a global menace, demanding effective treatment. Medication, lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments are initial measures. When CAD progresses, interventional coronary artery revascularization, specifically Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), stands out as the superior choice. Genetic and lifestyle factors contribute to CAD, often rendering medication and lifestyle changes ineffective. CABG consistently outperforms Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for CAD patients, ensuring better long-term outcomes, even in multivessel and diabetic cases. In the left main CAD scenarios, CABG offers more tremendous success in complete revascularization, emphasizing its superiority. While PCI is less invasive, CABG’s long-term benefits make it the preferred method, aligning with guidelines and patient preferences.

A 2023 study conducted a review in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) vs. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) was evaluated. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) provides better long-term outcomes, including lower mortality and reduced need for repeat revascularization, compared to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel and left main coronary artery disease.
