Revascularization strategy for left main coronary artery disease comparing percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass grafting
Patients with LMCAD undergoing CABG experience significant benefit over PCI in terms of long-term mortality, MI, and required repeat revascularization. These finding suggest CABG should remain the preferred revascularization strategy for patients with LMCAD and acceptable surgical risk. Future studies should explore evolving PCI techniques and their impact on long-term outcomes.
