Abstract
We compared completed long-term outcome and late repeat revascularization r ates in 272 consecutive patients with multivessel coronary disease who unde rwent revascularization (95 angioplasty cohort, 177 surgical cohort) betwee n 1984 and 1986. Long-term survival was similar at 12 years in the angiopla sty (70%) and surgical (74%) cohorts (p = NS), and repeat revascularization , although more frequent in the angioplasty patients during the first 5 yea rs of followup, was performed equally in the 2 patient cohorts after 10 to 12 years of follow-up.
