Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting vs Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Long-term Mortality and Morbidity in Multivessel DiseaseMeta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials of the Arterial Grafting and Stenting Era [1]

This meta-analysis compared outcomes of PCI vs CABG in patients with multivessel disease, evaluating studies that were not individually powered to detect survival differences. 6 RTC including 6055 pts were analyzed. Significant benefits for CABG were associated with overall mortality, MI, and the need for revascularization.
