A Randomized Trial Comparing Coronary Angioplasty with Coronary Bypass Surgery

Abstract: We found that CABG and PTCA did not differ significantly with respect to the occurrence of the composite primary end point. Consequently, the selection of one procedure over the other should be guided by patients' preferences regarding the quality of life and the possible need for subsequent procedures.

“…In this regard, it is worth noting that the difference in mortality between the CABG-and PTCAtreated patients with diabetes in the EAST trial was not evident after 3 years. 10 The hypothesis that late lesion progression in nontreated coronary segments is an important cause of mortality in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease 24,25 may explain the difference in results observed with shorter-term (Ͻ3 years) versus longer-term (Ͼ5 years) follow-up.…”

“…7 These findings have been corroborated by the 8-year follow-up analysis of the Emory Angioplasty versus Surgery Trial (EAST). 8 When interpreting the results from past studies, 9,10 it is important to realize that the introduction of intracoronary stents and the routine use of arterial conduits for bypass surgery have resulted in a remarkable improvement in outcomes after both percutaneous and surgical revascularization. 6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The Arterial Revascularization Therapy Study (ARTS) was designed to compare CABG and stenting for the treatment of patients with multivessel coronary disease.…”
