Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis.

CONCLUSIONS: The current evidence suggests that the risk of stroke was significantly reduced in PCI compared to that in CABG. Therefore, PCI is the preferred treatment for patients with a high risk of stroke. Additionally, in short-term follow up, PCI was reported to be safe and effective for UPLM patients compared to CABG. However, CABG caused fewer complications long term. PMID: 30797504 [PubMed - in process]
