Impact of previous percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting revascularization on outcomes after surgical revascularization: insights from the imagine study

Abstract

Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction >or=40% having a history of PCI prior to surgery had a worse outcome post-CABG than those with no prior PCI. Further studies are needed to investigate whether these results apply for drug eluting stents.
