Subsequent Revascularization
At a median 4.6 year follow-up, 21.1% of the PCI patients required an additional revascularization, compared to 32.6% of the OMT group who required a 1st revascularization
77 patients in the PCI group and 81 patients in the OMT group
required subsequent CABG surgery
Median time to subsequent revascularization was 10.0 mo in the PCI group and 10.8 mo in the OMT group

Take home messages
For every 1000 patients treated with a PCI-first strategy,
compared to optimal medical therapy
≈ 800+ will have the same outcome as those treated medically
+ 60-90 will have symptomatic benefit for 6-24 months
− 28 will have a periprocedural myocardial infarction
− 2 will die
Consider treating patients with stable symptoms with medical therapy first and reserving PCI for continued symptoms

Trang 20Modification of message?
Although patients with ischemic heart disease and stable
symptoms should be offered optimal medical therapy initially, those with severe symptoms and/or a significant burden of ischemia may benefit from early rather than deferred
revascularization

Trang 25Conclusions from MASS II
In patients with stable angina and multivessel disease,
revascularization, especially bypass surgery, reduces cardiac death and MI
COURAGE and MASS II results, although apparently
contradictory, can be reconciled by considering the extent of disease
Single vessel disease (31% in COURAGE, 0% in MASS II)
Proximal LAD disease (34% in COURAGE, 92% in MASS II)
CCS Class 0 or I (42% in COURAGE, 0% in MASS II)
