Background—Propensity-score matching is frequently used in the cardiology literature.
Recent systematic reviews have found that this method is, in general, poorly implemented in …

Background—The clinical impact of prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in
patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains unsettled. We sought to …

Objectives: To determine the association between previous percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) and results after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) …

OBJECTIVES: In the current era of stent usage, percutaneous coronary intervention is more
frequently performed as the initial revascularization strategy in multivessel disease before …

Aim To determine the impact of previous coronary artery revascularization by percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting (PCI) on outcome after subsequent …

BACKGROUND: This multicenter study investigated the impact of previous percutaneous
coronary interventions (PCI) on postoperative outcome and 5-year survival of subsequent …

OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous intervention for coronary revascularization is associated with
an increased risk of repeat revascularization, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus. In …

The number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) prior to coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) increased drastically during the last decade. Patients are referred for CABG …

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the incidence of previous percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) is increasing and that prior PCI influences patient morbidity and mortality …

Background—In this study, we sought to characterize the outcomes after isolated coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with a history of remote (≥ 14 days), and recent (< …
