Background
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been recommended in European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines as a standard treatment for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and severely impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF); however, the impact on vital prognosis at very long-term of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and CABG in patients with reduced ejection fraction remains to be elucidated.
Methods
The present report is a predefined subgroup analysis of the SYNTAXES study (NCT03417050). A total of 1,800 randomized patients with stable de novo three vessel disease and/or left main CAD were categorized into three groups according to the current guidelines of the ESC (1) reduced ejection fraction (rEF; LVEF≤40%), (2) mildly reduced ejection fraction (mrEF; LVEF 41-49%), (3) preserved ejection fraction (pEF; LVEF≥50%). The primary endpoint was 10-year all-cause mortality.
Results
The entire randomized population was stratified as rEF (n = 168), mrEF (n = 179), and pEF (n = 1453). The rates of 10-year all-cause death were 44.0% vs. 31.8% vs. 22.6% (P < 0.001), according to LVEF subgroups (rEF, mrEF and pEF). Among the patients with rEF, there was a tendency toward higher 10-year mortality in PCI group, but the difference was not significant (52.9% after PCI vs 39.6% after CABG, P = 0.054). There were no significant differences in the sub-group of with mrEF (36.0% after PCI vs. 28.6% after CABG, P = 0.273), and pEF, (23.9% after PCI vs. 22.2% after CABG, P = 0.275) respectively. Regarding the 10-year all-cause mortality, there was a significant interaction between LVEF subgroups at 5-year follow-up (P value for interaction 0.049); however, the difference disappeared at 10-year follow-up (P value for interaction 0.183).
Conclusion
Considering a significantly reduced mortality at 5 years and a numerical trend towards lower 10-year mortality in CABG than PCI among patients with reduced EF, CABG might be a safer revascularization strategy than PCI for patients with EF of less than 40%.
