HUGE DATA ANALYSIS from USA – more than 12 millions of patients and 13 years of observation
Good news for patients waiting for surgical heart revascularization (#CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting). We have a HUGE DATA ANALYSIS from USA – more than 12 millions of patients and 13 years of observation (JAMA 2020; 3: e1921326)
Main conclusions:
1. MORTALITY of CABG is still decreasing! What means that this procedure becomes safer and safer. It is in fact EVOLVING.
2. In contrary – the safety on percutaneous stent implantation (#PCI) is not changing at all. There is no progress in this method of treatment. Just stopped!
3. Another pro-argument to invest in #OPCAB (off-pump CABG) – evolving technique.
4. Heart Sense is evolving technology (#medical device) supporting this process.
