CABG needed after balloon angioplasty in 10% of pts. No control group for comparison.

Very small study. Event rate in pts. treated with CABG or balloon angioplasty less than in control group. Angioplasty pts. had fewer risk factors than pts. undergoing CABG.

No increase in events if surgery performed within 90 days of PTCA.

Pts. who had undergone PCI had a similar frequency of death and MI but half the angina and HF of matched pts. with CAD who had not undergone PCI. Event rates were much higher if PCI had been performed within 90 days.

The only study in which stents were used. Mortality was 32% among pts. operated on less than 12 days after stent placement vs. 0 in pts. operated on 12 to 30 days after PCI.

Among pts. who received PCI in BARI, outcome after noncardiac surgery was equivalent to that of BARI pts. who had received CABG.

BARI indicates Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation; CABG, coronary artery bypass surgery; CAD, coronary artery disease; HF, heart failure, MI, myocardial infarction; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; PTCA, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty; Pts, patients.
