Article Synopsis
- The study compared long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus stenting for patients with isolated proximal left anterior descending coronary artery.
- Follow-up was conducted after 10 years, showing that the need for additional procedures was significantly higher in the stent group, while rates of death and heart attacks were similar between both methods.
- Overall, both CABG and stenting were effective in relieving symptoms, although stenting led to a greater chance of needing repeat interventions.
