[Analysis of immediate and mid-term outcomes of surgical and endoscopic treatment of patients with coronary heart disease and multiple lesions of coronary arteries].

The study included retrospective analysis of the results of treatment in 529 patients with CHD and multiple coronary lesions divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 280 patients who underwent surgical myocardial revascularization, group 2 comprised 249 patients after coronary stenting. The groups did not significantly differ in the occurrence of serious clinical complications (death, acute myocardial infarction) in both early and mid-late postoperative periods. Patients in group 2 more frequently suffered anginal attacks and required repeat myocardial revascularization. The main factor limiting clinical efficiency of endovascular procedures was coronary restenosis in roughly 34% of the patients.
