Long-term (10-year) outcomes of stenting or bypass surgery for acute coronary syndromes and stable ischemic heart disease with unprotected left main coronary artery disease

American Heart Journal Aug 28, 2019

Park S, Ahn JM, Lee K, et al. - Given that acuity of clinical presentation may impact decision-making of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease, researchers ascertained if the clinical indication for myocardial revascularization may influence the relative long-term impact following PCI and CABG. Interaction between acuity of clinical presentation (acute coronary syndromes [ACS] or non-ACS) and revascularization strategy on 10-year outcomes was examined in the MAIN-COMPARE study involving 2,240 patients with LMCA disease treated with PCI (n = 1,102) or CABG (n = 1,138). Overall, 1,603 patients with ACS and 637 patients with non-ACS were presented. No significant interaction was identified between the acuity of clinical indication and the relative treatment impact of PCI compared with CABG on 10-year clinical outcomes in patients with LMCA disease.
