Patient preferences for coronary artery bypass graft surgery or percutaneous intervention in multivessel coronary artery disease

Conclusion: Patients favor mv‐PCI over CABG to treat mv‐CAD, even if 1‐year risks of death and repeat procedures far exceed risk with CABG. Physicians are more influenced by actual risk and prefer mv‐PCI less than patients despite similarly quoted 1‐year risks. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
