Long-term results of myocardial revascularization in patients with multivessel disease.

Background: Choosing the method of revascularization - coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) - remains debatable.

Methods: We selected 406 patients with multivessel disease who underwent PCI with a drug-eluting stent (DES) (n = 200, 100 with a SYNTAX score (SS) ≤ 22 and 100 with a SS 23-32); and CABG (n = 206, 100 with a SS ≤ 22 and 106 with a SS 23-32). The mean follow-up period was 9±1.
