    Author: Cigarroa JE, Hillis LD.
    Journal: Cardiol Clin; 2006 May; 24(2):255-63, vii. PubMed ID: 16781942.
    Abstract:
    An ever-growing number of patients are being referred for coronary revascularization in an attempt to reduce morbidity or to reduce mortality. Multiple randomized trials comparing percutaneous and surgical coronary revascularization have been performed. The decision to proceed with percutaneous or surgical revascularization should be based ona thorough understanding of the short- and long-term risks and benefits of each procedure in conjunction with the individual patient's coronary arterial anatomy and clinical risk profile.
