Long-term outcome of percutaneous or surgical revascularization with and without prior stroke in patients with three-vessel disease

ABSTRACT:

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether high-risk patients with three-vessel disease (TVD) with and without prior stroke preferentially benefit from three strategies [percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and medical therapy (MT)].

METHODS

A total of 8943 patients with TVD were included in the study. Patients enrolled were stratified into two categories according to the presence or absence of prior stroke history. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. Secondary endpoints included stroke and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), unplanned revascularization and stroke.

RESULTS

Prior stroke was present in 888 patients (9.9%). These patients were older and ha
