A computer-assisted system has been developed to store, retrieve and analyze medical and surgical data on patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. The analysis ranges from a simple summary tabulation to a more advanced prognostic evaluation of the risk of coronary bypass in an individual candidate for the operation. Data can be displayed on the terminal's screen or printed in a hard copy and used for clinical or administrative purposes. The system can be operated with no knowledge of computers or programming and requires only minimal typing skills.

Background: Previous studies suggest similar cardiovascular (CV) benefits for either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD). However, limited data exist on the influence of prior cerebrovascular disease (CEVD). Thus, we aim to compare the CV outcomes in patients with LMCAD and prior CEVD, undergoing either PCI or CABG.
