[Comparison of the effects of rapamycin-eluting stent implantation and coronary artery bypass grafting in treatment of patients with multi-vessel coronary disease].

OBJECTIVE
To compare the clinical effects of rapamycin-eluting stent implantation and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in treatment of the patients with multi-vessel coronary disease.


METHODS
From January 2002 to December 2004, 262 patients with multi-vessel coronary disease underwent CABG, and 250 age, clinical characteristics, and characteristics of coronary disease-matched patients chose to receive rapamycin-eluting stent implantation. 6-9 months after the treatment angiography of the coronary artery was conducted. All the patients were followed up for 19 +/- 14 months. The clinical outcomes were compared.


RESULTS
No intra-operative death occurred in the rapamycin-eluting stent implantation group with an operation success rate of 100%, significantly higher than that of the CABG group with 9 intra-operative deaths and an operation success rate of 96.6% (P < 0.01). Three perioperative deaths occurred in the rapamycin-eluting stent implantation with a perioperative death rate of 1.2%, not significantly different from that of the CABG group (1.9% with 5 perioperative deaths). The total death rate during hospitalization of the rapamycin-eluting stent implantation group was 1.2%, significantly lower than that of the CABG group (5.3%, P < 0.05). The rate of in-hospital major adverse cardiac event (MACE) of the rapamycin-eluting stent implantation group was 1.6%, significantly lower than that of the CABG group (5.3%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in MACE rate and angina pectoris recurrence during follow-up and event-free survival rate between these 2 groups.


CONCLUSION
A better treatment for the patients with multi-vessel coronary disease, rapamycin-eluting stent implantation has the clinical effects comparable to those of the CABG.
