Abstract

CABG surgery has been considered the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with diabetes mellitus who have lexft main and/or multivessel coronary artery disease. The results of a new analysis of data from the SYNTAX trial challenge this conventional wisdom and highlight additional coronary revascularization options to physicians and patients.
