RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Anatomic complete revascularization (ACR) and functional complete revascularization (FCR) have been associated with reduced death and myocardial infarction (MI) in some prior studies. The impact of complete revascularization (CR) in patients undergoing an invasive (INV) compared with a conservative (CON) management strategy has not been reported. OBJECTIVES: Among patients with chronic coronary disease without prior coronary artery bypass grafting randomized to INV vs CON management in the ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial, we examined the following: 1) the outcomes of ACR and FCR compared with incomplete revascularization; and 2) the potential impact of achieving CR in all INV patients compared with CON management. METHODS: ACR and FCR in the INV group were assessed at an independent core laboratory. Multivariable-adjusted outcomes of CR were examined in INV patients. Inverse probability weighted modeling was then performed to estimate the treatment effect had CR been achieved in all INV patients compared with CON management. RESULTS: ACR and FCR were achieved in 43.4% and 58.4% of 1,824 INV patients. ACR was associated with reduced 4-year rates of cardiovascular death or MI compared with incomplete revascularization. By inverse probability weighted modeling, ACR in all 2,296 INV patients compared with 2,498 CON patients was associated with a lower 4-year rate of cardiovascular death or MI (difference -3.5; 95% CI: -7.2% to 0.0%). In comparison, the event rate difference of cardiovascular death or MI for INV minus CON in the overall ISCHEMIA trial was -2.4%. Results were similar but less pronounced with FCR. CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes of an INV strategy may be improved if CR (especially ACR) is achieved.

INTRODUCTION: The second best conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting is uncertain. The objective of this study is to determine the second best conduit according to graft patency results from randomized controlled trials using a network meta-analysis. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted for randomized controlled trials comparing the angiographic patency rate of the no-touch saphenous vein (NT-SV), the radial artery (RA), the right internal thoracic artery (RITA), and the gastroepiploic artery (GEA) in reference to the conventionally harvested saphenous vein (CON-SV). The primary outcome was graft occlusion, and the secondary outcome was all-cause mortality. RESULTS: A total of 859 studies were retrieved, of which 18 were included. A total of 6,543 patients and 8,272 grafts were analyzed. The weighted mean angiographic follow-up time was 3.5 years. Compared with CON-SV, RA (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.43-0.74) and NT-SV (IRR 0.56; 95% CI, 0.44-0.70) demonstrated lower graft occlusion. NT-SV and RA were ranked as the best conduits (rank score for NT-SV 0.88 vs. 0.87 for RA, 0.29 for GEA, 0.27 for CON-SV, and 0.20 for RITA). There was no significant difference in late mortality between different conduit types. CONCLUSION: RA and NT-SV are associated with significantly lower graft occlusion rates and are comparably ranked as the best conduit for patency.
