Hi folks,
So I would like to hear all your opinions on PCI versus CABG for treatment of coronary vessel disease.
The results of the SYNTAX trial showed that both treatment had similar mortality rates. PCI required higher revascularization rates as CABG had a higher stroke rates.
Personally, I think PCI is the way to go. The need revascularize is nothing compared to the increased costs and risk of morbidity associated with CABG--and PCI is also much much more patient friendly.
What do you guys think?
