Comparison of strategies for myocardial revascularization in patients with coronary heart disease and multivessel coronary artery disease

Justification. To this day, the problem of choosing the method of complete revascularization in the category of patients with acute coronary syndrome without the ST segment elevation and multi-vascular lesions of the coronary bed does not lose its relevance. The goal of this study was to compare the results of surgical manipulations in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using 3rd-generation drug-coated stents and coronary artery bypass grafting, according to the two-year follow-up data. Methods. The results of surgical and endovascular revascularization strategies were compared in 140 patients with ischemic heart disease and multivessel coronary disease after previously successfully performed stenting of a clinically dependent artery using 3rd-generation drug-coated stents for acute coronary syndrome without the ST segment elevation based on the results of a two-year follow-up. Results. There were no statistically significant differences in clinical, demographic and operational characteristics between the groups, except for the number of smoking patients, wich was significantly higher in the PCI group...
