A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 35,409 Patients Undergoing PCI versus CABG for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with unprotected left main (UPLM) disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were found to have inconsistent results compared to those treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods

We identified and enrolled randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies (OSs) comparing PCI versus CABG for UPLM disease. A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Additionally, all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and stent thrombosis (ST) were included as secondary endpoints. The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Sensitivi
