Article Synopsis
- The study compared percutaneous revascularization and conservative treatment for severe lesions in secondary branches of epicardial arteries to evaluate their effectiveness in preventing cardiovascular events.
- After analyzing data from 679 lesions over an average follow-up of 22.2 months, there were no significant differences in outcomes between the two treatment methods, including rates of cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction.
- Key factors linked to increased event occurrence included diabetes, history of acute myocardial infarction, and longer lesion length.
