ERACI II -
Stenting superior to coronary bypass surgery for multivessel disease
J Am Coll Cardiol 2001; 37: 51-8
In this study, percutaneous tranluminal coronary revascularization (PTCR) with
stenting was compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients
with multiple vessel coronary disease. At 30 days, 3.6% of the PTCR patients had
experienced major adverse cardiac events, whereas 12.3% of the CABG patients had
done so. Death at this time had occurred in 0.9% of the PTCR patients and 5.7%
of the CABG patients.At a mean follow-up of 18.5 months,survival was 96.9% in
the PTCR group and 92.5% in the CABG group. Requirement for revascularization
was 16.8% in the PTCR group and 4.8% in the CABG group.

Is Angioplasty With Stenting as Good as Coronary Bypass Surgery? The answer may
be yes, based on this study of 1205 patients who were randomized to receive
coronary bypass surgery or angioplasty with stenting. At 1 year, there was no
difference in rates of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction between the 2
groups of patients. However, repeated revascularization was needed in the group
of patients who had angioplasty with stents. The stenting approach was $2973
cheaper per patient at the end of the year.

Multivessel diabetic patients treated with stenting had a worse 1-year outcome
than patients assigned to CABG or nondiabetics treated with stenting. The
strategy of stenting was less costly than CABG, however, regardless of diabetic
status.

Multivessel coronary stent implantation with treatment of the LAD has a good
acute and long-term outcome. The risk-benefit ratio must be assessed carefully
for each patient, particularly taking into account the jeopardy score and the
presence of diabetes mellitus.

Eight-year mortality in the Emory Angioplasty versus Surgery Trial
King SB 3rd et al.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010758949
Long-term survival is not significantly different between angioplasty and
surgery, and late (three to eight year) revascularization procedures were
infrequent. Patients without treated diabetes had similar survival in both
groups
BARI -
Seven-year outcome in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation by
treatment and diabetic status

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010758950
At seven years, there was a statistically significant survival advantage for
patients randomized to CABG compared with PTCA. Among patients with treated
diabetes mellitus, the benefit of CABG over PTCA seen at five years was more
pronounced at seven years; among nondiabetic patients, there was essentially no
treatment difference.
BARI -
Projected long-term costs of coronary stenting in multivessel coronary disease
based on the experience of the bypass angioplasty revascularization
investigation
Yock CA et al.
Am Heart J 2000;140:556-64
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0011011328
A primary stenting strategy in patients with multivessel disease has higher
projected long-term costs than CABG. In contrast, a provisional stenting
strategy in multivessel disease has lower projected costs than either PTCA or
CABG.
Multi-vessel coronary stenting -
Procedural results and late clinical outcomes: a comparison with single-vessel
stenting
Kaul U et al.
J Invasive Cardiol 2000;12:410-5
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010953105
The one-year clinical outcomes of multi-vessel stenting were similar to the
results of single-vessel stenting. In this study, 384 consecutive patients
treated with coronary stents in 2 (92% of patients) or 3 of the native coronary
arteries were compared with 624 consecutive patients undergoing stenting in a
single coronary artery between January 1, 1997 and January 31, 1999. During
1-year clinical follow-up, target lesion revascularization was 16% in
multi-vessel and 14% in single-vessel stenting (p = 0.38) and repeat
revascularization was also similar for both groups (19% vs. 20%; p = 0.73).
There was no difference in death (0.8% vs. 1.3%; p = 0.31) and Q-wave MI (0.7%
vs. 1.4%; p = 0. 16) in the 2 groups. Overall cardiac event-free survival was
similar for both groups (76% vs. 78%; p = 0.54).

Simultaneous stenting of multiple SVGs in carefully selected patients has
similar in- hospital procedural success and major complications rates, as well
as mid-term (18-month) clinical outcomes, as compared with single SVG stenting.
Thus, multiple SVG interventions using stents may be a viable revascularization
strategy for carefully selected patients and suitable lesions in multiple SVG
disease.
