Comparison of Coronary Bypass Surgery with Angioplasty in Patients with Multivessel Disease

Abstract: As compared with CABG, an initial strategy of PTCA did not significantly compromise five-year survival in patients with multivessel disease, although subsequent revascularization was required more often with this strategy. For treated diabetics, five-year survival was significantly better after CABG than after PTCA.

“…Although, contemporary population data demonstrates evidence of reduction in cardiovascular complications with risk factor control in patients with diabetes 5, 6, it is not known whether this translates to improvements following coronary revascularization as recent randomized control trials continue to show worst outcomes in diabetic patients with complex coronary artery disease when treated with PCI compared with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) 7, 8, 9.…”

“…However, advances in the percutaneous therapies including drug‐eluting stents (DES), and newer antithrombotic and antiplatelet regimens with aggressive medical therapy have led to marked improvement in outcomes following nonsurgical treatment of CAD. In addition, there have been considerable improvements in the surgical techniques including greater use of arterial grafts, greater use of off‐pump CABG, along with better postoperative care, which has antiquated the bulk of surgical outcomes data published earlier 55, 56. As the PCI technology continues to evolve and the surgical outcomes improve, we are more often than not faced with the ultimate question “What is the best revascularization strategy for patients with complex multivessel CAD?” (Figure 6).…”

“…Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease were compared in large randomized trials in the early 1990s [1, 2]. Although immediate results were comparable, CABG proved to be superior since the rate of major cardiac events at the 6- and 12-month follow-up was higher after PTCA, mainly due to restenosis [3].…”
