Percutaneous Coronary Intervention versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Chronic Total Occlusion of Coronary Arteries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

C. Wang, S. Liu, et al.

This systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by Chenyang Wang, Sheng Liu, Raimov Kamronbek, Siyao Ni, Yunjiu Cheng, Huiyuan Yan, and Ming Zhang reveals compelling insights into the comparison between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for chronic total occlusion of coronary arteries. Notably, PCI is associated with lower all-cause mortality and cardiac death, although it does carry a higher risk of myocardial infarction. Discover the implications of these findings in the pursuit of optimal heart health.
