Utilization and Outcomes of Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Stenting and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Most patients with LMCA disease who needed coronary revascularization received CABG surgery; stent patients were sicker. This study found that surgery patients experienced lower risk of long-term death and repeat revascularization. However, more studies comparing these procedures are needed, especially in the drug-eluting stent era.
