Both percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improve health status in chronic coronary disease (CCD) versus conservative management, according to ISCHEMIA.
CABG provides greater angina relief than PCI at 1 year post-procedure but these differences equalize by 3 years.
Health status improvements were measured by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores, offering patient-centered evidence for treatment selection in CCD.
