RESUMO

There was no conclusive evidence that coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is superior to medical therapy (MT) alone in symptomatic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), and preserved left ventricular function. The objective of this study is to compare the long-term results of CABG or PCI versus MT in patients with multivessel CAD and preserved left ventricular function. The primary end-points were the combination (MACE) of overall mortality, non fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and refractory angina requiring revascularization. Secondary end-point was the angina status at the end of follow-up. All events were analyzed according to the intention to treat principle. From 2.077 eligible patients for randomization among 20.769 patients screened for the trial, 611 could be randomized to CABG (n=203), PCI (n=205), and MT (n=203). At 10-year follow-up, MACE occurred in 69% of patients who underwent MT, compared to 56% treated with PCI, and 37.9% receiving CABG (p<0.0001). There were no statistical differences in overall mortality among the three groups (31% in MT, 23.9% in PCI, and 25.1% in CABG; p=0.230). Mechanical intervention driven by refractory angina were necessary in 38.9% of patients in the MT, compared to 40% in the PCI, and 7.4% in the CABG group (p<0.0001). In addition, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were experienced by 20.7% of patients receiving MT, in comparison to 13.2% of patients submitted to PCI and 9.9% of those submitted to CABG (p=0.008). Patients who underwent MT had higher cardiac mortality (20.7%), than patients receiving PCI (14.1%) or CABG (10.8%) (p=0.021), however this difference was significant only between CABG and MT (p=0,009). No statistical differences were observed in the incidence of stroke among the three groups of treatment (p=0.303). At the end of follow-up angina was present in 14.8% of MT patients, compared to 9.3% of PCI patients, and 6.4% of CABG patients (p=0.022). CABG independently reduced the incidence of MACE in comparison to MT (HR=0.449; CI95%=0.346 0.583) and PCI (HR=0.560; CI95%=0.431 0.726). This reduction is mainly driven by reduction in the rate of mechanical intervention in comparison to MT (HR=0.162; CI95%=0.113-0.232), and PCI (HZ=0.150; CI95%=0.111-0.228). CABG also reduced the incidence of AMI and angina status in comparison to MT (HR=0.150; IC95%=0.280 0.780; p=0.013; HR=0.397; IC95%=0.200 0.785; p=0.009, respectively). Our study has shown that the three treatment options yielded comparable and elevated rates of survival in 10-year follow-up. However, CABG was superior to MT in the prevention of AMI, in the reduction of the angina incidence, and in the prevention of mechanical intervention. Angioplasty and MT have shown similar results in relation to angina alleviation and prevention from MACE defined as the combination of all cause mortality, AMI, and the need of mechanical intervention
