Outcomes According to Coronary Revascularization Modality in the ISCHEMIA Trial

J Am Coll CardiolPublished Secondary analysis of the ISCHEMIA randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In ISCHEMIA, early revascularization by PCI and CABG was associated with higher early risks and lower long-term risks of cardiovascular events compared with CON. The early risk was greatest after CABG, owing to protocol-defined procedural MIs.

Study context

Population
Patients with stable CAD without preceding primary outcome events
Participants
512 / 1,500 / 2,591
Comparison
INV-PCI and INV-CABG vs conservative (CON)
  • CABGn = 512
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)n = 1,500
  • CONn = 2,591reference
Primary endpoint
ISCHEMIA primary outcome:
  • CV death
  • Protocol-defined MI or hospitalization for unstable angina
  • HF
  • Resuscitated cardiac arrest
