Meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials comparing coronary artery bypass grafting with percutaneous coronary intervention using drug-eluting stenting in patients with diabetes.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was found to be the preferred strategy of revascularization in patients with diabetes in the bare-metal stent (BMS) era. The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs) led to a significant reduction in the rates of repeat revascularization (RRV) when compared with BMSs. We did a collaborative analysis of data from randomized controlled trials in the contemporary era to compare CABG versus percutaneous coronary intervention using DESs in diabetic patients.
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis from randomized trials in the contemporary era comparing PCI with DESs with CABG in diabetic patients with multivessel disease. A comprehensive literature search (1 January 2003 to 18 May 2013) identified randomized controlled trials that reported long-term outcomes comparing PCI using DESs with CABG in 2974 diabetic patients.
At 1 year, PCI was associated with a significant increase in the incidence of RRV [2.48 (1.56-3.94); P ≤0.0001], lower incidence of stroke [relative risk (RR) = 0.43 (0.19-0.81); P = 0.017], and no difference in death or myocardial infarction (MI). At 5 years, PCI was still associated with a lower incidence of stroke, but was associated with a significant increase in the incidence of death [RR = 1.36 (1.11-1.66); P = 0.0033] and MI [RR = 2.01 (1.54-2.62); P ≤0.0001].
In patients with diabetes, PCI was associated with no difference in death and MI at 1 year. However, at 5 years, PCI was associated with a higher incidence of death and MI. PCI was associated with a higher incidence of RRV but a lower incidence of stroke.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery versus percutaneous coronary intervention with first-generation drug-eluting stents: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
This study sought to compare the efficacy of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) to that of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with first-generation drug-eluting stents among patients with multivessel disease (MVD), unprotected left main (LM) disease, and single-vessel proximal left anterior descending (LAD) disease.
The efficacy and safety of CABG versus PCI with drug-eluting stents in patient subgroups remains controversial.
We systematically searched Cardiosource, Circulation, Clinicaltrials.gov, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Medline for articles published through June 2013 for randomized controlled trials comparing CABG with PCI. Primary endpoints included mortality, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and stroke. Data were meta-analyzed with random-effects models.
We identified 7 randomized controlled trials (N = 5,835): 2 of MVD (n = 2,410, 100% diabetic), 2 of LM disease (n = 1,206, 29.0% diabetic), 1 of 3-vessel or LM disease (n = 1,900, 25.5% diabetic), and 2 of single-vessel proximal LAD disease (n = 319, 36.3% diabetic). In MVD patients, CABG reduced the risk of mortality (risk ratio [RR]: 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.57 to 0.87), myocardial infarction (RR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.36 to 0.61), and repeat revascularization (RR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.52), but increased stroke risk (RR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.02 to 2.90). In patients with LM disease, CABG reduced revascularization risk (RR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.46 to 0.78) and increased stroke risk (RR: 2.89, 95% CI: 1.15 to 7.27). Data for patients with single-vessel proximal LAD disease were inconclusive.
CABG is more efficacious than is PCI with first-generation drug-eluting stents in patients with LM and MVD, at the cost of increased rates of stroke. No conclusion can be drawn for patients with single-vessel proximal LAD disease.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Versus Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation for Left Main or Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data.
The authors undertook a patient-level meta-analysis to compare long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) in 3,280 patients with left main or multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD).
The relative efficacy and safety of CABG versus PCI with DES for left main or multivessel CAD remain controversial.
Data were pooled from the BEST (Randomized Comparison of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and Everolimus Eluting Stent Implantation in the Treatment of Patients With Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease), PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery vs. Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients With Left Main Coronary Artery Disease), and SYNTAX (Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) trials. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke.
The median follow-up was 60 months, and follow-up was completed for 96.2% of patients. The rate of primary outcome was significantly lower with CABG than with PCI (13.0% vs. 16.0%; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69 to 1.00; p = 0.046). The difference was mainly driven by reduction in myocardial infarction (HR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.33 to 0.64; p < 0.001). There was significant interaction between treatment effect and types of CAD, showing CABG to be superior compared with PCI with DES in patients with multivessel CAD (p = 0.001), but no between-group difference in those with left main CAD (p = 0.427). The rates for all-cause death and stroke were similar between the 2 groups. By contrast, the need for repeat revascularization was significantly lower in the CABG group compared with the PCI group.
CABG, as compared with PCI with DES, reduced long-term rates of the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients with left main or multivessel CAD. The advantage of CABG over PCI with DES was particularly pronounced in those with multivessel CAD.
