Trial of everolimus eluting stents or bypass surgery for coronary disease - The New England Journal of Medicine - 2015

Brief Summary:

In patients with multivessel CAD undergoing revascularization, PCI with 2nd-generation DES is inferior to CABG and is associated with a 4.7% absolute increase in death, MI, or target-vessel revascularization at 4.6 years. The primary endpoint increase with PCI was driven primarily by a 3.3% absolute increase in target-vessel revascularization and a trend towards increased nonfatal MIs.
