2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Revascularization to Improve Survival in Non-Left Main Coronary Artery Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
"1.CABG to improve survival is beneficial in patients with significant (≥70% diameter) stenoses in 3 major coronary arteries (with or without involvement of the proximal left anterior descending LAD) or in the proximal LAD plus 1 other major coronary artery.[2][3][4][5][6][7] (Level of Evidence: B)"
"1.CABG or PCI to improve survival is beneficial in survivors of sudden cardiac death with presumed ischemia-mediated ventricular tachycardia caused by significant (≥70% diameter) stenosis in a major coronary artery. (CABG[8][9][10](Level of Evidence: B) ; PCI[11](Level of Evidence: C) "
Class III (Harm)

"1. CABG or PCI should not be performed with the primary or sole intent to improve survival in patients with stable ischemic heart disease with 1 or more coronary stenoses that are not anatomically or functionally significant (e.g., greater than 70% diameter non–left main coronary artery stenosis, fractional flow reserve 0.80, no or only mild ischemia on noninvasive testing), involve only the left circumflex or right coronary artery, or subtend only a small area of viable myocardium. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20](Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIa

"1.CABG to improve survival is reasonable in patients with significant (≥70% diameter) stenoses in 2 major coronary arteries with severe or extensive myocardial ischemia (eg, high-risk criteria on stress testing, abnormal intracoronary hemodynamic evaluation, or >20% perfusion defect by myocardial perfusion stress imaging) or target vessels supplying a large area of viable myocardium.[21][22][23][24](Level of Evidence: B)"

"2.CABG to improve survival is reasonable in patients with mild-moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction 35% to 50%) and significant (≥70% diameter stenosis) multivessel CAD or proximal LAD coronary artery stenosis, when viable myocardium is present in the region of intended revascularization.21,[25][26][27][28][29](Level of Evidence: B)"

"3.CABG with a left internal mammary artery graft to improve survival is reasonable in patients with significant (≥70% diameter) stenosis in the proximal LAD artery and evidence of extensive ischemia.[30][31][32][33](Level of Evidence: B)"

"4.It is reasonable to choose CABG over PCI to improve survival in patients with complex 3-vessel CAD (eg, SYNTAX score >22) with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery who are good candidates for CABG.[34][35][36][37][38](Level of Evidence: B)"

"5.CABG is probably recommended in preference to PCI to improve survival in patients with multivessel CAD and diabetes mellitus, particularly if a left internal mammary artery graft can be anastomosed to the LAD artery.[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47](Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIb

"1. The usefulness of CABG to improve survival is uncertain in patients with significant (≥70%) stenoses in 2 major coronary arteries not involving the proximal LAD artery and without extensive ischemia.[48] (Level of Evidence: C)"

"2.The usefulness of PCI to improve survival is uncertain in patients with 2- or 3-vessel CAD (with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery) or 1-vessel proximal LAD disease.[49][50][51][52] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"3.CABG might be considered with the primary or sole intent of improving survival in patients with SIHD with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction <35%) whether or not viable myocardium is present.[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60](Level of Evidence: B)"

"4.The usefulness of CABG or PCI to improve survival is uncertain in patients with previous CABG and extensive anterior wall ischemia on noninvasive testing.[61][62][63][64][65][66](Level of Evidence: B)"
