Is it better to have a PCI or a bypass operation for coronary artery disease?

Dr. Nijjer discusses in general terms the reason why a patient may decide to have a percutaneous intervention (PCI) or open coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The decision for either treatment option is complex and can involve many factors. Patient factors such as the presence of diabetes or prior stroke or heart damage can be important. Technical factors involving the number of stents needed or the complexity of the procedure are also important. Finally, the decision can be shared between the patient, the Cardiologist and the Cardiothoracic Surgeons.
