Resource Use Following Revascularization for Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease

Key Points

• This research investigates the differences in health care resource use and adverse events following CABG and PCI in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
• Conducted an observational analysis comparing CABG and PCI outcomes
• Focused on health care resource utilization post-discharge
• Assessed rates of readmission and adverse events
• Patients undergoing CABG reported fewer adverse events than those receiving PCI
• CABG patients utilized fewer health care resources after discharge
• Selecting CABG may support lower readmission and overall health care costs compared to PCI
