medical management only and found a numerical but not statistically
significant difference in mean 6MWT distances at 1 year (362 m for
catheter-directed therapies and 231 m for medical management).
21
Results from 1-year follow-up of the OPTALYSE study showed a baseline
6MWT distance of 327 to 352 m across the 4 study groups, with
increased 6MWT distance of approximately 26.7 meters from 30 to 90
days, and again from 90 days to 1 year.
22
A more recent study of 190
patients demonstrated that endovascular therapy (CDT or mechanical
thrombectomy) led to significantly higher 6MWT distances at 3-6
months in intermediate–high and high-risk patients with PE than
those receiving medical therapy only (342 m vs 272 m, respectively).
23
The median 6MWT distance of 398.1 m at 6 months in this report
represents an increase of 218 m from 48 hours to 6 months, exceeding
the published results discussed above. The PEmb-QoL results in this
report also compare favorably to literature values, which are sparse for
catheter-directed therapy studies. Patients’ PEmb-QoL scores
improved following CDT in the OPTALYSE study by a mean of 3.1
points between each follow-up timepoint out to 1 year, although spe-
cific values were not provided.
22
For those patients who survive PE, many will face the long-term
sequelae of RPVO, which is one of the strongest predictors of a poor
long-term prognosis.

The incidence of RPVO following thrombolytic
or AC treatment is up to 60% of patients with PE

rapidly extract thrombus may reduce the likelihood of RPVO and its
consequences, including CTED and CTEPH. The FLASH study had a
reported CTED prevalence of 1.9% and CTEPH prevalence of 1.0% at 6
months, lower than previously published CTEPH prevalence ranges of
2% to 4%,
31
possibly owing to the removal of acute thrombi and pre-
vention of RPVO. It is important to note that since much of the FLASH
study occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the symptoms
related to longer-term consequences of PE may overlap with those of
COVID-19, potentially leading to overstated impact of PE on functional
outcomes.
The FLASH registry has certain limitations. As with most registries,
a detailed treatment protocol was not specified. As a result, proce -
dural details and laboratory testing were perfor med per local clinical
practice and not standardized, so procedural and outcome variability
may be higher compared with an investigational trial with formally
prescribed procedural requirements. The site-reported nature of
CTED, CTEPH, and echocardiographic assessmen ts and th e lack of
residual thrombus burden measurement postthrombectomy are also
limitati ons. In addition, because o f changes in protocol requirements
for some outcome measurements over the course of the study, as well
as an inability of many patients to have in-person follow-up visits
during the COVID-19 pandemic, certain evaluations that could not be
performed in a telehealth appointment, such as echocardiography
and 6MWT, were not collected at all follow-up visits, resulting in a
lower cohort population for these measurements. Finally, because
FLASH is a single-arm registry, definitive comparisons to outcomes of
other treatment options including other interventions or conservative
medical management cannot be made. Randomized controlled trials
(RCTs) are needed to directly compare such outcomes. The currently
enrolling PEERLESS RCT will compare acute and intermediate-term
(30-day) clinical outcomes in patients with PE treated with the Flow-
Triever System vs CDT. The HI-PEITHO RCT is also currently enrolling
to evaluate the benefit of in tervention with the EKOS CDT system
(Boston Scientific) vs sta ndard medical management in preventing
acute adverse clinical outcomes. The STORM-PE RCT will evaluate
improvements in the surrogate measure of RV/LV ratio in patients with
PE treated with aspirati on thrombect omy using the In digo Aspiration
System (Penumbra, Inc) vs standard medical management. Finally, the
PE-TRACT RCT will evaluate improvements in longer-term clinical
outcomes in patients with PE treated with intervention vs standard
medical management.
Conclusions
Among a large and geographically diverse cohort of patients with
acute intermediate-and high-riskPE treatedwith the FlowTriever System,
all-cause mortality and prevalence of CTED and CTEPH were low at 6-
month follow-up. Furthermore, patient-reported health status was
markedly improved by multiple measures suggesting durable clinical

The FLASH registry enrolled 800 patients with acute pulmonary embolism across 50 US sites who were undergoing treatment with mechanical thrombectomy using the FlowTriever
System and followed them through 6 months postthrombectomy. Follow-up completion and mean duration of follow-up are reported, along with 6-month all-cause mortality. Clinical
and functional outcomes assessed from baseline through 6 months include echocardiographic measurements of RV size and function, dyspnea using the modified Medical Research

benefits that compare favorably against other studies using similar
measures. These data suggest that rapid extraction of thrombus may
prevent or reduce long-term sequelae in patients with PE, informing the
hypothesis for future studies directly comparing the clinical outcomes of

ABSTRACT
Background: To compare the long-term incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and death in patients randomized to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
vs percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for treatment of isolated left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery disease.
Methods: We systematically identified all randomized controlled trials comparing PCI with stenting to CABG with a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft
in patients with isolated LAD disease who had at least 4 years of follow-up. The primary outcome of interest was MI. Secondary outcomes were all-cause
mortality and target vessel revascularization (TVR).
Results: Four trials were included in the current analysis, with a total of 573 patients randomized to CABG with a LIMA (n ¼ 285) vs PCI (n ¼ 288) and followed
for 4 to 10 years. At latest follow-up (weighted mean 8.3 years), there was no statistically significant difference in the risk of MI between CABG and PCI
(relative risk [RR], 1.33; 95% CI, 0.62-2.83; P ¼ .46), nor was there a statistically significant difference in mortality between the groups (RR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.70-
1.65; P ¼ .84). There was a significantly lower risk of TVR after CABG compared with PCI (RR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.15-0.46; P < .001).
Conclusions: The current meta-analysis suggests that there is insufficient evidence that CABG with a LIMA confers protection against MI or death compared
to PCI with a stent for isolated LAD disease. CABG was, however, associated with reduced rates of TVR.
Introduction
The optimal revascularization strategy for patients with isolated
disease of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery is uncer-
tain in part due to the limited number of randomized controlled trials
(RCTs) comparing clinical outcomes with percutaneous coronary inter-
vention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in pa-
tients with isolated LAD disease.
1,2
CABG has been suggested to be
associated with improved long-term survival compared with PCI in
patients with complex multivessel disease by preventing late myocar-
dial infarction (MI) arising not only from severe target lesions but also
from proximal nonobstructive vulnerable plaques.
1,3,4
In this regard, it
has been stated that the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) grafted to
the mid or distal LAD confers the greatest survival benefits and pro-
tection against MI. Conversely, PCI has been described as having no
impact on proximal nonstented lesions and is thought to prevent late
MI only by focal treatment of flow-limiting lesions.
5
Despite these considerations, PCI is commonly used to treat isolated
LAD disease due to its minimally invasive nature with low rates of early
morbidity and mortality. However, there is little data evaluating the long-
term differences in the occurrence of MI and death in patients with iso-
lated LAD disease treated with CABG vs PCI.

hypothesized that CABG does not confer a long-term reduction in MI
and death when compared to PCI and performed a systematic
meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term differences in outcomes in pa-
tients undergoing CABG with a LIMA vs PCI with a stent for isolated LAD
disease.
Methods
Data sources and search strategies
An investigator and a senior librarian (M.P. and L.P.) indepen-
dently conducted a comprehensive search of eligible studies from
January 1, 2002 to June 4, 2022. Two additional investigators
(M.V.M. and J.B .) reviewed the eligi ble studies and ensured that they
met the inclusion criteria. The databases included Ovid MEDLINE
Epub Ahead of Print, Ovid MEDLINE I n-Process & Other Non-
Indexed Citation s, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Cochrane
Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid Cochrane Database of
Systematic Reviews, and Scopus. Addition al studies were retrieved
using reference lists of included articles, abstracts, and expert bi b-
liographies. We limited our search to publication s in the English
language and in humans.
Eligible studies met the following inclusion criteria: (1) RCTs of PCI
with a stent (bare metal stent [BMS] or drug-eluting stent) vs CABG with
a LIMA in patients with isolated LAD disease; (2) incidences of death
and MI were reported with TVR reporting being optional; (3) follow-up
duration of 4 years. Included studies were assessed using the
Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (Supplemental Figure S1).
6
Funnel plots to
assess publication bias were not included due to there being <10 trials
included in our meta-analysis.
Data extraction
Data extraction was performed by 2 independent investigators (M.P.
and J.B.) and confirmed by a third independent investigator (J.W.M.).
Each study was independently summarized with variables including first
author, year of publication, population characteristics,design, follow-up,
use of cardiopulmonary bypass, and clinical outcomes.
Outcomes of interest and definitions
To determine whether CABG confers a benefit in preventing MI in
patients with isolated LAD disease, the primary outcome of interest was
MI (both Q wave and non-Q wave, procedural and nonprocedural) at
latest follow-up. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death and
target vessel revascularization (TVR) at latest follow-up.
Statistical methodology
Statistical analysis was conducted according to Cochrane collabo-
ration recommendations and quality of reporting of meta-analysis
guidelines.
6
Outcomes were analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis.
Random-effect meta-analyses were performed using the restricted
maximum likelihood estimator. As a sensitivity analysis, fixed-effect
analyses were also performed using a Mantel–Haenszel model. All
outcomes were assessed as relative risks (RR) at the time of last
follow-up available for each trial. Heterogeneity was assessed using the
I
2
statistic, with <25% defined as low heterogeneity, 25% to 50%
defined as moderate heterogeneity, and >50% defined as high het-
erogeneity.

Continuous data are expressed as mean standard
deviation unless otherwise stated, and statistical significance was set at

P < .05. All analyses were performed with the metafor package from R
version 4.2.1.
Results
Studies and patients
The search yielded 2239 relevant reports, 4 of which met all inclu-
sion criteria
8–11
(Figure 1). A total of 573 patients were randomized,
including 285 patients to CABG and 288 patients to PCI. All studies
were found to be of moderate-to-high or high quality by the Cochrane
bias tool. Details from each study are shown in Table 1. The study
population had a mean age of 62.0 years, and the majority of patients
were male. A LIMA was used in all patients in the CABG arm whereas a
stent was used in all patients in the PCI arm (mostly BMSs). The longest
follow-up from each study ranged from 4 to 10 years (weighted mean
average 8.3 years). The end points of death, MI, and TVR were available
from all 4 trials.
Risk of MI
As shown in the Central Illustration, MI during follow-up occurred in
39 patients, with 22 MIs after CABG and 17 after PCI. There was no
statistically significant difference in the risk of MI between groups (RR,
1.33; 95% CI, 0.62-2.83; P ¼.46). There was low heterogeneity between
studies (I
2
¼ 19.0%).
Risk of all-cause mortality
As shown in Figure 2, all-cause mortality during follow-up occurred
in 81 patients, with 42 deaths in the CABG group and 39 deaths in the
PCI group. There was no statistically significant difference in the risk of
all-cause mortality between groups (RR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.70-1.55; P ¼
.84). There was no heterogeneity between studies (I
2
¼ 0%).
Risk of TVR
As shown in Figure 3, TVR during follow-up occurred in 73 patients,
including 14 patients after CABG and 59 patients after PCI. The risk of
TVR was significant reduced after CABG compared with PCI (RR, 0.27;
95% CI, 0.15-0.46; P < .001). There was no heterogeneity between
studies (I
2
¼ 0%).
Fixed-effect analyses
Fixed-effect analyses were consistent with the random-effect find-
ings for MI (RR, 1.41; 95% CI, 0.73-2.74), all-cause mortality (RR, 1.04;
95% CI, 0.70-1.55), and TVR (RR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.15-0.46).
Discussion
The current meta-analysis examined the long-term clinical outcomes
of patients with isolated LAD disease who were randomized to either
CABG with a LIMA or PCI with a BMS or drug-eluting stent. At a longest
weighted mean follow-up of 8.3 years, no differences were found in the
long-term risks of MI or death between the 2 revascularization modal-
ities. PCI was, however, associated with an increased risk of TVR
compared with CABG. Our analysis is limited by wide confidence in-
tervals and inability to ascertain timing of events, and thus, caution is
warranted in drawing strong conclusions from these findings.
The reported findings question whether the long-term rates of MI
(and death) are reduced by CABG compared with PCI, at least in
Central Illustration.

patients with isolated LAD disease. Several prior meta-analyses have
examined the outcomes of CABG and PCI in LAD disease (Table 2),
17
reaching varying conclusions. While an early meta-analysis suggested
that cardiac events and death were reduced with surgical manage-
ment of isolated LAD disease, more recent data has not shown a clear
reduction in MI with CABG in these patients.
8,10,14–16
In a
meta-analysis of RCTs, Kapoor et al
14
also noted no difference in MI
and death, with reduced TVR and improved angina relief in patients
undergoing CABG, but h ad shorter follow-up, included balloon an-
gioplasty studies, and did not include additional data present in thi s
meta-analysis. Several other previous meta -analyses with significantly
shorter follow-up and variability in design from the present
meta-analysis have also shown similar rates of MI and death in patients
undergoing CABG or PCI for isolated LAD disease
2,12,13,15
Deo et al
2
observed no difference in mortality or MI with CABG vs PCI but found
an increased rate of TVR after PCI. Since the publication of these early
analyses, longer-term follow-up of the previous RCTs has b een re-
ported. Moreover, since many of these previous meta-analyses, there
have been additional data included with longer follow-up in our
analysis. Additionally, our study excludes balloon angioplasty studies
and focuses only on patients that received stents. We have thus
importantly noted that despite only including stent studies, there is
only a higher risk of TVR, but not MI. Another principal difference
between the present report and p rior me ta-analyses is the require-
ment for follow-up of at least 4 years in the prese nt study, providing a
long-term perspective on the outcomes of CABG and PCI for isolated
LAD disease.
It has been argued that CABG may reduce the risk of late MI
compared with PCI by bypassing severely diseased coronary segments
as well as nonobstructive vulnerable plaques, theoretically preventing
the clinical sequelae from plaque rupture and vessel occlusion, as most
infarctions arise from proximal or mid vessel atherosclerosis.
3,5,18,19
In
this regard, the bypass graft mimics the protection provided by native
collateralization.
1,19,20
While the rate of late MIs may be reduced after
CABG in patients with complex multivessel and left main disease
compared with PCI,
21
such patients have substantially more diffuse
atherosclerosis and greater myocardium at risk than those with
single-vessel LAD disease. Thus, the results of the present study apply
only to patients undergoing isolated LAD revascularization and not
multivessel or left main intervention.

Prior meta-analyses have not distinguished between periproce-
dural and spontaneous MI and thus technically are not able to address
the underlying question of whether CABG is protective purely against
long-term MI.
20,22,23
While this is a limitation of our study as well, the
longer-term follow-up from the present report more heavily weights
the accrual of late MIs compared with early periprocedural events.
With follow-up between 4 and 10 years in the 4 component studies of
the present analysis, no significant difference in long-term MI risk was
noted between CABG and PCI after treatment of isolated LAD dis-
ease. It is important to note however, that there is evidence of flawed
data in one of the meta-analyses due to erroneous inclusion of the
same study with multiple articles describing various timepoints of
follow-up.
15
Concordant with the similar risk of MI we also observed a similar risk
of all-cause mortality with CABG and PCI. However, TVR was performed
in substantially fewer patients during follow-up after CABG compared
with PCI. These data may be useful to the heart team as they discuss the
risk vs benefit profiles of each procedure in a patient with isolated LAD
disease.
Limitations
An inherent issue in all meta-analyses is that the aggregate results
are drawn from studies with inherent variability between patient pop-
ulations and treatments. By excluding observational studies, and only
including RCTs with isolated LAD disease, LIMA and stent treatment,
and long-term follow-up, we have attempted to limit potential con-
founding. However, RCTs enroll a highly selected group of patients and
may exclude higher-risk cohorts in whom equipoise between PCI and
CABG does not exist (eg, extremely diffuse disease favoring CABG, or
frailty or other comorbidities favoring PCI). Additionally, information
about lesion complexity that may affect the relative outcomes of CABG
vs. PCI was not routinely available, nor were we able to account for
differences in interventional or surgical technique and operator skill/
experience in our analysis. Follow-up time varied between studies, and
hazard ratios were not available, requiring a reliance on RRs at the
longest follow-up time available, which may have introduced some
imprecision. Additionally, it is important to consider that while we aimed
to understand long-term events, the analysis may have been influenced
by early events as the timing of events within each study was not able to
be ascertained. Lastly, our analysis is limited by wide confidence in-
tervals for the outcomes studied, and thus caution is warranted in
drawing strong conclusions from these findings.
Conclusions
The present meta-analysis of RCTs of patients with isolated LAD
disease undergoing PCI with stenting (mostly BMS) or CABG with a
LIMA shows that there is insufficient evidence to establish that CABG
confers protection against MI, as we note a similar risk of MI and all-
cause mortality with both procedures at long-term follow-up, with an
increased risk of TVR after PCI. These findings must be placed into
context given the significant advances in stent technology, interven-
tional and surgical techniques, and operator skill since these trials were
conducted. Our findings suggest that in noncomplex patients with
single-vessel LAD disease in whom there is equipoise for revasculari-
zation between CABG and PCI, there is insufficient evidence to suggest
that CABG is associated with reduced long-term risk of MI or death
when compared with PCI. Further studies examining the origin of MIs
after CABG and PCI (whether type I, II, IV, or V)
24
and whether arising
from the target lesion, target vessel, or nontarget vessel are needed to
further delineate the causes of MI after both procedures and to explore
the protective effects of CABG in patients with complex multivessel and
left main disease.
