What are the findings of the BARI 2D study on CABG and PCI for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with SIHD?
The BARI 2D study found that overall survival at 5 years was similar between the revascularization and medical-therapy groups (88.3% versus 87.8%), as was the incidence of MACE (77.2% versus 75.9%). Patients with the most severe CAD were assigned to the CABG stratum and those with the least severe CAD to the PCI stratum.
