What are the predictors of revascularization method and long-term outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention or repeat coronary bypass surgery in patients with multivessel coronary disease and previous coronary bypass surgery?
The predictors of revascularization method and long-term outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention or repeat coronary bypass surgery in patients with multivessel coronary disease and previous coronary bypass surgery were studied in the European Heart Journal article by Brener et al. (2006). The results of the study showed that patient age, left ventricular function, and extent of coronary disease were associated with the choice of revascularization method. Additionally, the study found that the long-term outcomes were similar regardless of the choice of revascularization method.
