Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention vs. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease :Insights From a Large-Sized All-Comers Registry.

CONCLUSIONS: The degree of renal insufficiency was proportionately associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with LMCAD. In group 3, PCI was associated with a higher risk of MACCE compared with CABG. Also, the effect of PCI vs. CABG on MACCE was consistent, with PCI being associated less bleeding and CABG being associated with less repeat revascularization.
