“…We observed greater utilization of PCI versus CABG in this patient population throughout the study period. Furthermore, consistent with previous cohort studies, 15,22,25 we observed that the choice of optimal revascularization strategy in this patient population is particularly influenced by the severity of underlying CAD. Among high-risk patients (3-vessel CAD and pLAD involvement), CABG has been the revascularization strategy of choice throughout the study period.…”

“…A previous study from the Can Rapid Risk Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients Suppress Adverse Outcomes With Early Implementation of the ACC/AHA Guidelines (CRUSADE) Quality Improvement Initiative reported greater use of PCI as compared with CABG among NSTEMI patients with multivessel disease in the early 2000s. 15 However, contemporary trends in revascularization among the highrisk subset of participants with multivessel CAD and type 2 DM are not known. Accordingly, we used the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Acute Coronary Treatment and Intervention Outcomes Network Registry-Get with the Guidelines (ACTION Registry-GWTG) database to study temporal trends and hospital-level variation in performance of CABG and PCI among DM patients with NSTEMI and angiography, demonstrating multivessel CAD.…”

“…14,15 In particular, several recent studies have documented that since the introduction of DES, the use of PCI to treat patients with multivessel coronary artery disease has increased, with a resulting decrease in rates of bypass surgery. 16,17 Although the precise explanation for this observation cannot be discerned from the present data, this trend most likely reflects the increased willingness of interventional cardiologists to perform PCI in patients with more complex disease whose risk of restenosis before the introduction of DES was thought to be prohibitive.…”

“…It showed that, in low-risk patients undergoing isolated initial CABG between 1994 and 1999, there was an independent association between postoperative AFIB and increased mortality at 4 to 5 years. 6 Over the past decade, there has been a substantial shift toward the use of percutaneous coronary intervention for reperfusion, 13,14 reducing the "routine" operative CABG workload of cardiothoracic surgeons and transforming the operative list to include many older and higher-risk patients. 2 The increasing risk profile of the population receiving CABG 4 makes the rela-tionship between postoperative AFIB and survival of even greater interest.…”
