Description: In patients with left main coronary artery disease of low or intermediate anatomical complexity, there was no significant difference between percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary-artery bypass grafting with respect to the rate of the composite outcome of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction at 5 years. Joining us today to discuss the findings of the EXCEL Trail and how it has impacted clinical treatment is Juan A. Crestanello, M.D., a cardiovascular surgeon and Chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, and Malcolm R. Bell, M.D., an interventional cardiologist and Vice Chair of Cardiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
