Coronary Revascularization for Patients with Severe Coronary Artery Disease

A Review of Current Evidence and Treatment Strategies

Abstract

The optimal choice between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for complex coronary artery disease (CAD), such as unprotected left main or multivessel disease, remains a topic of debate. Recent developments in PCI techniques and devices have contributed to the shift from CABG to PCI in clinical practice. In this review, we provide an overview of the current status and latest evidence regarding revascularization strategies for severe CAD.
