The clinical application of drug-eluting stents (DES) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD) is still controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the safety and efficacy between DES and CABG for ULMCAD.
Databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched.
Twenty-one studies with 8,413 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The risk was lower in DES than in CABG groups at the early outcomes of death (risk ratio (RR): 0.49, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-0.78), cerebrovascular events (RR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.08-0.45) and composite endpoint (RR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.40-0.70); death after 2 years (RR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.66-0.99), 4 years (RR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.53-0.90), 5 years (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.61-0.95) and their total effect (RR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.71-0.87); composite endpoint 1 year (RR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.58-0.83), 4 years (RR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.53-0.88), 5 years (RR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.59-0.92) and their total effect (RR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.71-0.85). There were no significant differences in the risk for the early outcomes of myocardial infarction (RR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.68-1.38), death 1 year (OR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.57-1.15) and 3 years (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.69-1.04), composite endpoint of 2 years (RR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.72-1.09) and 3 years (RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.73-1.04). Nonetheless, there was a lower risk for revascularization associated with CABG from 1 to 5 years and their total effect (RR: 3.77, 95% CI: 3.35-4.26). There was no difference in death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events or revascularization at 1 year between RCT and observational groups.
Our meta-analysis indicates that DES has higher safety but higher revascularization than CABG in patients with ULMCAD in the 5 years after intervention.
药物洗脱支架(DES)或冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)治疗无保护左主干冠状动脉疾病(ULMCAD)的临床应用仍存在争议。本荟萃分析的目的是比较 DES 和 CABG 治疗 ULMCAD 的安全性和疗效。
系统检索 MEDLINE、EMBASE 和 Cochrane 图书馆数据库。
本荟萃分析纳入了 21 项研究,共 8413 例患者。DES 组早期结局的死亡率(风险比(RR):0.49,95%置信区间(CI):0.30-0.78)、脑血管事件(RR:0.19,95%CI:0.08-0.45)和复合终点(RR:0.53,95%CI:0.40-0.70)的风险低于 CABG 组;2 年(RR:0.81,95%CI:0.66-0.99)、4 年(RR:0.69,95%CI:0.53-0.90)、5 年(OR:0.76,95%CI:0.61-0.95)和总效应(RR:0.79,95%CI:0.71-0.87)的死亡率;复合终点 1 年(RR:0.69,95%CI:0.58-0.83)、4 年(RR:0.69,95%CI:0.53-0.88)、5 年(RR:0.74,95%CI:0.59-0.92)和总效应(RR:0.78,95%CI:0.71-0.85)的风险较低。早期心肌梗死(RR:0.97,95%CI:0.68-1.38)、1 年死亡率(OR:0.81,95%CI:0.57-1.15)和 3 年死亡率(OR:0.85,95%CI:0.69-1.04)、2 年复合终点(RR:0.88,95%CI:0.72-1.09)和 3 年复合终点(RR:0.87,95%CI:0.73-1.04)的风险无显著差异。然而,从 1 年到 5 年,CABG 组的血运重建风险及其总效应(RR:3.77,95%CI:3.35-4.26)较低。随机对照试验和观察性研究组在 1 年时的死亡率、心肌梗死、脑血管事件或血运重建无差异。
本荟萃分析表明,在介入治疗后 5 年内,DES 治疗 ULMCAD 的安全性高于 CABG,但血运重建率较高。
