3
Case #1 76 M peripheral vascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, morbid obesity, COPD, former smoker, HTN, HL CCS III unstable angina
5
Revascularization? DM2 Multiple comorbidities Left main disease
Normal LVEF
6
CABG vs PCI
7
Evolution of revascularization
PCI Improving technology Better delivery and optimization techniques More efficacious drugs Staging Need for repeat revascularization Restenosis CABG Off pump techniques Robotic, hybrid techniques Higher likelihood of complete revascularization Typically single procedure Cost
8
In the past… CABG favored:
Diabetic patients with MVD, particularly LM or proximal LAD Diminished LVEF Composite outcomes mostly driven by repeat revascularization and ACS BARI – CABG superior in diabetic patients, no significant difference in nondiabetics – late 1980s (POBA) BARI-2D – high risk diabetic patients did better with CABG, lower risk favored for OMT and provisional revasc First generation DES
12
Difference driven by need for revascularization and MI
- First generation stents and POBA (mixed bag)
13
Courage Trial
14
Limitations Excluded left main or equivalent Excluded EF less than 30%
Excluded CCS IV angina Only ¼ of patients had > CCS II angina (75% CCS II or less) Taxus stents Real world adherence to intensive medical therapy
16
Syntax Trial 1800 patients 3V disease or left main 1:1 CABG or PCI
Very low enrollment of LVEF <40% Outcomes Death Revascularization, MI, cerebrovascular events
17
Syntax Score Dominance Number of lesions Aorto ostial lesions
Tortuosity Bifurcation, trifurcation disease Heavy calcification Length >20 mm CTO Thrombus Diffuse disease
20
More recent trials BEST trial NOBLE trial, EXCEL trial
Everolimus eluting stents comparable to CABG in MVD CABG superior at 2 years in terms of MACCE Driven by revascularization NOBLE trial, EXCEL trial Syntax <32 Everolimus eluting stent noninferior to CABG
21
Case #1 76 M peripheral vascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, morbid obesity, COPD, former smoker, HTN, HL CCS III unstable angina
24
Clinical Implications
PCI is a reasonable alternative to CABG in low syntax score patients CABG preferred in high syntax score Intermediate score? Other considerations STS score Patient preference Other Excludes patients with ACS and previous revascularization
