Background—The importance of completeness of revascularization by percutaneous
coronary intervention in patients with multivessel disease is unclear in that there is little …

Background The standard treatment for patients with symptomatic multivessel coronary
artery disease is coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG). Percutaneous transluminal …
