Abstract

Revascularization in stable coronary artery disease in comparison to medical treatment reduces symptoms and in many cases also improve prognosis. Benefits of the revascularization depend on the area of ischemia. The method of revascularization (CABG vs PCI) is chosen based on extensity of atheroma plaques, anatomy of the vessels, periprocedural risk and preferences of well informed patient.
