Short-Term Outcomes of Revascularization for Chronic Total Occlusions in Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: Does Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Beat Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Acute Hospital Settings?
PCI was associated with lower in-hospital mortality, shorter duration of hospitalization, and decreased hospitalization costs compared to CABG. Conversely, CABG was linked to lower rates of recurrent myocardial infarction but exhibited higher incidences of acute postprocedural arrhythmias, stroke, and sepsis.
