Commentary: Putting the lid on left main revascularization equipoise

Gaudino and Brophy1 should be congratulated on providing clarity into the role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in patients with left main (LM) disease. The authors have performed a solid review into the evidence behind the best treatment for patients with LM disease. Their main message is that LM disease should be considered as part of coronary artery disease as a whole and not an independent entity. There are a paucity of data supporting long-term clinical equipoise between PCI and bypass surgery (CABG).
