Multiple arterial grafts improve survival with coronary artery bypass graft surgery versus conventional coronary artery bypass grafting compared with percutaneous coronary interventions

The authors compare single-institution retrospective data on outcomes of coronary bypass grafting or PCI for isolated CAD in over 12,000 pts.  Overall survival was better for PCI patients (46% vs 34% at 15 yrs).  However, survival for patients undergoing CABG with multiple arterial grafts was superior to most other interventions at 15 years and was similar to PCI with drug-eluting stents.
