Fig 2 Annual distribution of therapeutic interventions: coronary artery bypass graft surgery (blue); percutaneous coronary intervention bare-metal stent (red); and percutaneous coronary intervention drug-eluting stent (green). (BMS = bare-metal stents; CABG = coronary artery bypass graft surgery; DES = drug-eluting stents; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.)

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier analysis for the composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG [blue line]) was associated with significantly less risk for the primary outcome compared with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bare-metal stents (BMS [red line]) and drug-eluting stents (DES [green line]). (CI = confidence interval; vs. = versus.)

Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier analysis for all-cause mortality. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG [blue line]) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES [green line]) were associated with significantly less risk of all-cause mortality compared with PCI with bare-metal stents (BMS [red line].
