Revascularization strategy for left main coronary artery disease comparing percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) has long been the preferred treatment for left main coronary artery disease(LMCAD), although percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) has been increasingly utilized. Despite numerous investigations seeking to identify the optimal revascularization strategy for LMCAD, limitations in sample size or follow-up duration have hindered definitive conclusions. Herein, we compare the long-term outcomes up to 14 years after CABG or PCI for patients with LMCAD.

Methods

Data was retrospectively collected from a provincial database. The inclusion criteria is patients ≥18 years old, with LMCAD, and revascularization with CABG or PCI. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes are any rehospitalization, myocardial infarcti
