A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies comparing the use of double internal mammary artery (BITA) with saphenous vein (SV) versus BITA with radial artery (RA) in surgical treatment for triple-vessel coronary artery disease. Long-term survival was evaluated with follow-up up to 12 years.
Comparative meta-analysis of prospective studies on urgent revascularization in patients with multivessel disease presenting specifically as Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS), via coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous intervention.
This meta-analysis, encompassing 6 clinical trials, compares percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in cases of left main coronary artery disease or multivessel disease, presenting results stratified according to the SYNTAX score.
This is a single-center study from a Korean group examining long-term outcomes of complete surgical revascularization without extracorporeal circulation from an anatomic/angiographic or functional perspective.
A sub-analysis of the COMPASS study evaluating one-year patency of various types of coronary grafts through CT angiography, considering technical aspects of revascularization strategy configuration.
This retrospective study adjusted by propensity score analysis compares mid- to long-term revascularization outcomes in multivessel disease patients treated with conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and hybrid revascularization.
A meta-analysis of major randomized clinical trials comparing coronary surgery (CABG) versus percutaneous intervention (PCI) that assesses the incidence of new myocardial infarctions during follow-up and their relationship with all-cause mortality.
Observational study of a large Canadian cohort analyzing long-term clinical outcomes by comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following propensity score analysis adjustments.
Retrospective analysis of the national Veterans Health Affairs registry database to assess outcomes and prognosis in stable ischemic heart disease patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery based on their ejection fraction classification (preserved, moderately reduced, or severely reduced).
This review article compares discrepancies in pre-procedural variables between patients in clinical trials and registries, both for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
