title: [Immediate and remote results after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery in patients with multivascular involvement of coronary arteries].
abstract: Relatively little time has passed since elaboration and introduction of coronary angioplasty however interventional cardiology in these years has made a swift leap in its development. Initially coronary interventions were carried out only on isolated proximal stenoses but later interventions became to be performed on more complex lesions of coronary arteries and then on multivessel disease intruding into area which previously had belonged exclusively to coronary bypass surgery. Although both methods of revascularization rapidly developed the researchers were interested in assessment and comparison of results of two strategies. Thus studies appeared in which patients were randomized for coronary bypass surgery or percutaneous coronary angioplasty. Below we present data of the largest and most interesting studies in which these strategies of revascularization in patients with multivessel involvement have been compared. We also separately consider results of revascularization in a subgroup of patients with diabetes mellitus.
