The results of the OAT study do not prove or disprove the benefits of late revascularization in patients similar to the patients in the OAT study and certainly do not apply to the entirety of post-AMI patients. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of investigators like th...

متن کاملComparison of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
PURPOSE Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the optimal treatment option for left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD). However, LMCAD remains a constant topic of discussion between cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of LMCAD treatments by comparing the mid-term outcomes of CABG and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) u...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Patients With Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate long-term clinical outcomes following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with unprotected left main disease (ULMD). BACKGROUND PCI has been increasingly used as an alternative mode of revascularization for ULMD. However, there are limited data comparing clinical outcomes between CABG surgery ...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass surgery or drug eluting stent for unprotected left main coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is the treatment of choice in unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCA). However drug eluting stent (DES) implantations in ULMCA have ushered a revolution in the field of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) by reducing peri-procedural mortality and incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). More ...
