Stenting vs. CABG

Left Main coronary artery stent is here!!!

Five-year risk for death, Q-wave MI and stroke were similar among patients with left main coronary artery disease who underwent stenting and those who received CABG.

However, target vessel revascularization occurred more often with stenting

  1. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and being obese all contribute to increasing the chances of a person developing coronary artery disease. Smoking is another factor. If there is family history of heart disease, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to combat the power of genetics. Losing as little as ten kilograms can reduce a person's blood pressure by 20 mmHg systolic and dramatically reduce the chances of developing diabetes, a gateway to a multitude of serious diseases.
