Assessment and Treatment of CAD<br />
Proposed Algorithm<br />
• Revascularization Strategy<br />
– For patients who fail medical therapy or who have<br />
high risk stress test or clinical history<br />
– Stenting versus CABG<br />
• Stenting reasonable for 1-2 vessel disease not<br />
involving proximal LAD<br />
• If proximal LAD involved consider CABG instead if<br />
good surgical candidate<br />
• If 3 vessel CAD, CABG preferred unless higher<br />
than acceptable risk
