5 Perceived benefit of PTCA for coronary disease Rothberg. Ann Intern Med 2010;153:307 Conventional Wisdom Treatment Assumptions in CAD Management: Patients with symptomatic CAD and chronic angina who have significant coronary stenoses need revascularization Revascularization is required to improve prognosis PCI is less invasive than CABG surgery (i.e., is safer) and, therefore, should be selected Effects of Medical vs PCI Therapy on Angina Symptoms in Stable CAD 1018 stable CAD patients: 504 randomized to PTCA, 514 randomized to medical treatment Followup: 2.7 years Difference in Angina Class > II; Medical PTCA, 95% CI P<0.001 Angina better managed with PTCA, but difference attenuated over time (related to revasc in med group) (RITA-2 trial participants.

Circulation. 2005;111: (95% Cl) P Background More than 1 million PCI procedures are performed in the U.S. annually, the great majority of which are undertaken electively in patients with stable CAD Although successful PCI of flow-limiting stenoses might be expected to reduce the rate of death, MI or hospitalization for ACS, prior studies have shown only that PCI decreases the frequency of angina and improves short-term exercise performance 8

N Engl J Med 2009;360: BARI 2D Trial design: Patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease were randomized (2x2 factorial design) to revascularization (n = 953) versus medical therapy (n = 991) and to insulin-sensitization (n = 977) versus insulin-provision (n = 967). Follow-up 5.3 years. % p = 0.97 p = Results Mortality: 11.7% with revasc vs. 12.2% with medical therapy (p = 0.97); 11.8% with insulinsensitization vs. 12.1% with insulin-provision (p = 0.89) PCI stratum, MACE: 23.0% with revasc vs. 21.1% with medical therapy (p = 0.15) CABG stratum, MACE: 22.4% with revasc vs. 30.5% with medical therapy (p = 0.01) Mortality Revascularization Medical therapy Mortality Insulinsensitization!

17 Shaw LJ Circulation. 2008;117:1283 Conclusions PCI as an initial management strategy in the setting of stable CAD has not been shown to reduce the incidence of Death or MI PCI has not been shown to prolong life expectancy PCI added to OMT was more effective in reducing ischemia and improving angina than OMT, particularly in patients with moderate-to-severe prerx ischemia Most patients will have improvement in anginal status whether treated initially with PCI+OMT or OMT alone Peterson NEJM 2008;359:7 Controversies remain Patients randomized after coronary angiograms preformed Patients excluded with severe LV dysfunction, clinical instability, or very early ST-segment depression or hypotension 33% of patients in medical group crossed over to revascularization 17

18 Medical Therapy vs PCI + Medical Therapy For Stable CAD Nishilgaki: J Am Coll Cardiol Intv 2008;1:469 Medical Therapy vs PCI + Medical Therapy For Stable CAD Nishilgaki: J Am Coll Cardiol Intv 2008;1:469 Summary Among patients with CAD, ample data indicate a direct relationship between the presence and magnitude of ischemia and the likelihood of death and MI. This relationship appears to be independent of the degree of symptoms. Revascularization coupled with medical therapy is more effective in relieving ischemia than medical therapy alone Whether routinely applied revascularization, as an adjunct to medical therapy, reduces the incidence of death or MI among CAD patients with significant ischemia remains unknown. 18

19 Questions to answered next: Among stable patients with moderate-tosevere provokable cardiac ischemia and preserved cardiac function would an initial strategy of cardiac catheterization followed by revascularization (PCI or CABG) and OMT be superior to a strategy of OMT alone for reducing the incidence of death or MI. Pharmacologic vs Revascularization Therapy for Stable CAD Critical Caveats in Interpreting Studies Field of PCI very rapidly evolving, with dramatic improvements in preventing restenosis: Balloon angioplasty (PTCA) Bare metal stents (BMS) Drug eluting stents (DES) Newer stent platforms Field of pharmacologic vascular protection and plaque stabilization also very rapidly evolving with dramatic improvements in medical outcomes A Comprehensive Approach to Managing Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease!
