Stenting versus Bypass Surgery for the Treatment of Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Based on data comparing coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) with medical therapy, the current guidelines recommend CABG as the treatment of choice for patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be selectively performed in patients who are candidates for revascularization but who are ineligible for CABG. Current evidence indicates that...
متن کاملLong-term results of stenting versus coronary artery bypass surgery for left main coronary artery disease-A single-center experience.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as an alternative treatment to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unprotected left main (LM) coronary artery disease, but the results of both treatments are less clear in real-world practice. We aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of unprotected LM disease treated with CABG or PCI with stenting in high-risk population fr...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass grafting versus stenting for unprotected left main coronary artery disease: where lies the body of proof?
Technical advances in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) and stent technology have emboldened the interventional cardiology community to test the feasibility of and document the procedural results for stenting the left main coronary artery.7–14 Surgical approaches have a distinct advantage in that they can ignore the complexity and location of the left main coronary lesion, because bypa...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention versus cardiac bypass surgery for left main coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Several updated meta-analyses comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease (LM CAD) have been published recently. However, the risk of false-positive results could be high in conventional updated meta-analyses due to repetitive testing of accumulating data. Therefore, we compared these treatment a...
متن کاملRandomized trial of stents versus bypass surgery for left main coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly used to treat unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis, although coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered to be the treatment of choice. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis to undergo CABG (300 patients) or PCI with sirolimus-eluting stents (300 pat...
