Similar late revascularization rates 10 to 12 years after angioplasty or bypass surgery for multivessel coronary artery disease: a report from the Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center (LDCMC) Registry.
We compared completed long-term outcome and late repeat revascularization rates in 272 consecutive patients with multivessel coronary disease who underwent revascularization (95 angioplasty cohort, 177 surgical cohort) between 1984 and 1986. Long-term survival was similar at 12 years in the angioplasty (70%) and surgical (74%) cohorts (p = NS), and repeat revascularization, although more frequent in the angioplasty patients during the first 5 years of follow-up, was performed equally in the 2 patient cohorts after 10 to 12 years of follow-up.
