Abstract
PCI with DES or CABG are equivalent strategies for LMCAD up to 5Â years with respect to death, regardless of SYNTAX score. PCI increases the rate of non-procedural MI at 5Â years. CABG avoids the need for repeat revascularization, especially in diabetics, but this benefit is offset by higher rate of stroke in the first year of follow up.
