PCI or CABG for left main coronary artery disease: the SWEDEHEART registry

28 Jun 2023

While the choice between PCI and CABG for LMCA disease continues to be one of the most controversial topics, patient characteristics & comorbidities must be taken into account, as must the external validity of the results of RCTs in the real world, as the SWEDEHEART registry does.
