1 Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: Bypass Surgery Bruce Lytle, MD

2 Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Prolongs Survival Angiographic Subgroups MR (%) LMT stenosis (> 50%) 68% 3V CAD (> 50%) 42% 1/2V CAD and proximal LAD (> 50%) 32% no proximal LAD -5%

3 Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Prolongs Survival The more severe the coronary disease, symptoms, and LV dysfunction, the greater the survival benefit of surgery over medical therapy.

4 Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Improves Quality of Life Independent of Severity of CAD Angina Increase in exercise capacity Decrease in antianginal medications

5 Randomized Studies versus Mostly low risk patients Mostly normal LV function Mostly 2 vessel CAD Insufficient numbers of patients with extensive CAD

22 Why is Surgical Revascularization More Effective Than? More Complete Less Negative impact on native vessel Better patency (ITA) Improved vein graft function More protection against progression of atherosclerosis

25 What about simpler 3VD? has not been shown to prolong survival rate except for AMI Syntax has a 4 year F/U Curves are still diverging

26

27

28 Surgery and are not equivalent treatments, and the differences are not just completeness of revascularization

29 Multivessel Treatment There is no evidence that stenting prolongs the life expectency of any patient with chronic coronary artery disease. There is evidence that surgery does prolong the life expectency of some patients with CAD When we think prognosis is the issue, surgery should be the choice

30 Multivessel Paradigm Intervention until it is no longer possible, then surgery Surgery with intervention used to treat progression of disease
