percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)/coronary stent vs CABG
Introduction
Comparison of stent-assisted percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) versus coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
Stent or Surgery Trial (SoS)[1]
Median follow-up 2 years
Results:
- combined input of death & Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) similar in 2 groups (10%)
- all-cause mortality lower in CABG group (2% vs 5%)
- revascularization procedures higher in stent-PTCA group (21% vs 5%)
Outcomes similar with CABG & drug-eluting stent PCI[2]
CABG superior to stenting*[3] (studies did NOT include drug-eluting stents)
mortality similar after 1 year (PCI, 6.6%; CABG, 6.2%)
mortality at 4 years favors CABG (16.4% vs. 20.8%)[7]
CABG superior to drug-eluting stents in patients with diabetes mellitus[8]
- mortality & myocardial infarction lower with CABG
- stroke lower with PCI & drug-eluting stent[8]
CABG superior to PCI in older patients with multivessel disease[7][10]
- CABG superior to PCI in patients with complex multivessel disease[16]
CABG superior to PCI in patients amenable to bypass surgery with
- left main coronary artery disease[27]
- PCI may be appropriate for some patients with left main coronary artery disease
- multivessel disease with severe systolic dysfunction or diabetes mellitus[27]
- CABG is recommended for patients who have left main disease, triple vessel disease, & reduced systolic function, or multivessel disease with involvement of the proximal left anterior descending artery in the presence of diabetes[16]
stenting for left main coronary artery disease with similar outcomes to CABG:
- composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke
- more frequent need repeat revascularization[5]
- (12.6% vs. 7.5%)[17]
- CABG superior if concurrent 3-vessel disease[5]
- CABG may be superior if left main disease is severe[10]
- higher rates of nonprocedural MI & repeat revascularization with PCI[20]
- after 5-years, all-cause mortality no different between PCI & CABG[24]
- PCI or CABG reasonable for left main coronary artery disease[25]
5 year outcomes similar for composite outcomes of mortality & major cardiovascular event for left main coronary artery disease[19][26]
- composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, or myocardial infarction
- 19% for CABG & 22% for PCI[19]
- all-cause mortality similar for PCI vs CABG for patients with acute coronary syndrome (10.9% vs 11.5%)[26] & 11.3% vs 9.6% without[26]
- ischemia-driven revascularization higher for PCI vs CABG (17% vs 10%)[19]
- study[19] funded by manufacturer of stent,[26] meta-analysis of 4 studies
CABG with mortality benefit at 5 years vs PCI for patients with diabetes mellitus (HR=0.88) & those with a history of smoking [[[A26615|HR]]=0.82)[11]
PCI with slight mortality benefit at 5 years vs CABG for patients without a history of diabetes mellitus, smoking, peripheral artery disease or heart failure[11]
Patients are less likely to be compliant with their medications after CABG than after PCI[9]
Advantage to CABG for total mortality (RR=0.73), incident myocardial infarction (RR=0.58), & repeat revascularization (RR=0.29) for multivessel disease[14]
- patients with multivessel disease and reduced LVEF should undergo CABG rather than PCI[2]
- no effect of diabetes mellitus[14]
long-term mortality similar with CABG vs PCI with everolimus- eluting stent for non-diabetic patients with multivessel disease[15]
- MI rates may be higher after PCI
- PCI may offer early safety benefits for stroke, hemorrhage
- greater risk of need for revascularization with PCI
CABG superior to PCI with coronary stent in patients with multivessel disease &/or diabetes mellitus[16][18]
PCI may be preferable to CABG for single-vessel disease even in patients with diabetes mellitus
CABG may be preferable to PCU for ischemic cardiomyopathy with low LVEF[21]
Coronary revascularization declining in US, CABG more so than stenting[6]
Among older adults CABG vs PCI not different in post-procedural cognitive effects[22]
major cardiovascular events 1 year after procedure was higher with fractional flow reserve-guided PCI than with CABG[23]
