In patients with low or intermediate complexity left main coronary disease, PCI and CABG had similar 5-year rates of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction.
Does PCI reduce the composite outcome of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction at 5 years compared to CABG in patients with left main coronary artery disease of low or intermediate anatomical complexity?

In patients with low or intermediate complexity left main coronary artery disease, PCI is comparable to CABG for the composite outcome of death, stroke, or MI at 5 years.
In patients with left main coronary artery disease of low or intermediate anatomical complexity, there was no significant difference between PCI and CABG with respect to the rate of the composite outcome of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction at 5 years.
