Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Left Main Disease With or Without Diabetes: Findings From a Pooled Analysis of 4 Randomized Clinical Trials

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Diabetes may be associated with differential outcomes in patients undergoing left main coronary revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients were categorized by diabetes status. PintHR=0.87) diabetes.

Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes in Left Main Coronary Revascularization: PCI vs. CABG

Cardiology Update

Left main coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care, often leading to adverse outcomes. However, the comparative long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with these conditions remains unclear.

Percutaneous revascularisation in chronic coronary syndromes: when real-world data unveil the other side of the coin

Heart BMJ

In many trials, revascularisation in addition to OMT was not effective in either improving survival or reducing adverse events compared with OMT alone, except for a subcohort of patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in BARI-2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes) trial.

Eagle’s Eye View: Quantitative Coronary Angiography vs Intervascular Ultrasound to Guide PCI, Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheters, PCI vs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Left Main Disease and Diabetes

American College of Cardiology

Eagle looks at the difference between quantitative coronary angiography versus intervascular ultrasound to guide PCI. He then discusses paclitaxel-coated balloon catheters vs uncoated balloon angioplasty for treating coronary in-stent restenosis.

What is coronary artery bypass surgery CABG?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

As age advances and depending on risk factors like heredity, smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes, fat build up occurs in these blood vessels. Bypass surgery certainly provides much better long term results than balloon angioplasty and stent insertion. But the initial worries about an open surgery is definitely there.

Women and Heart Health: Unique Considerations and Risks

MIBHS

Conditions like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and hypertension during pregnancy are not only dangerous during pregnancy but also serve as indicators of future cardiovascular problems. Women who experience these complications should be vigilant about their heart health later in life.
