[Results of stenting and surgical treatment in patients with ischemic heart disease and multivessel coronary artery involvement].
Efficacy of surgical and endovascular (with the use of stents) methods of treatment was assessed in 56 patients with ischemic heart disease and double and triple vessel involvement. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was carried out in 31, implantation of stents - in 25 patients. Clinical factors used for assessment of efficacy of treatment were development of events (deaths, myocardial infarctions), presence of angina, changes of exercise capacity. In immediate postoperative period there were 2 myocardial infarctions (1 in each group, i.e. 4 and 3.2% after stenting and CABG, respectively) and no deaths. Absence of clinical effect (persistence of angina) more often occurred after stenting (12%) that after CABG (6.5%). Length of hospital stay was shorter after stenting (13-/+8 days) than after CABG (24-/+10 days). Increment of exercise tolerance was higher after stenting than after CABG (62-/+10 and 54-/+8 W, respectively). During 1 year of follow-up 1 myocardial infarction developed (after stenting). In a year after procedure angina recurred in 24 and 12.9% of patients subjected to stenting and CABG, respectively; increments of exercise tolerance were 53-/+8 and 49-/+7 W after stenting and CABG, respectively. These results are indicative of high efficacy of surgical and endovascular (with implantation of stents) treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease.
