Long-term data are limited comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with second-generation drug-eluting stents (S-DES) vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing these interventions in patients with left main or multivessel CAD. We systematically reviewed PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for studies that compared PCI with S-DES and CABG in patients with left main or multivessel CAD with a minimum mean follow-up period of 3 years.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies suggest that complete revascularization is more beneficial than partial revascularization for elderly patients (age ≥75 years) with acute coronary artery syndrome (ACS) and multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 7 studies (including randomized controlled trials and adjusted cohorts) revealed that complete revascularization significantly reduces all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and recurrent heart attacks compared to partial procedures.
- The findings highlight the importance of considering complete revascularization for elderly patients to improve their clinical outcomes following coronary interventions.
