PCI after SVG failure—native vessel or graft?

摘要

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure following coronary artery bypass grafting may require re-intervention, with current guidelines favoring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the bypassed native coronary artery over SVG-PCI. The Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Native Coronary Artery versus Saphenous Vein Graft in Patients with Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (PROCTOR) trial is the first randomized controlled trial comparing native coronary artery PCI with SVG-PCI. The study shows that at 1 year, SVG-PCI was associated with significantly lower major adverse cardiac events than native vessel PCI. These findings question existing guideline recommendations, although longer-term follow-up is required.
