2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. A report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines. Developed in collaboration with the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesi (2011, methodology): “A meta-analysis of 10 RCTs comparing CABG with balloon angioplasty (n 6) or MS implantation (n 4) concluded that the mortality rate as substantially lower in patients with diabetes undergoing ABG (451).”
Strategies for multivessel revascularization in patients with diabetes. (2012, result): “A comprehensive meta-analysis of trials performed before the introduction of drug-eluting stents showed excess mortality after PCI, as compared with CABG, in patients with diabetes.(20) Although our study was not powered to detect a difference in all-cause mortality, we observed a significantly (P =”
Guidelines on myocardial revascularization. (2010, methodology): “By eliminating bias, individual RCTs and their subsequent meta-analyses [29 31] constitute the highest hierarchical form of evidence-based medicine.”
