Previous studies – CAD revasc strategy • SYNTAX • PCI vs. CABG • FREEDOM • PCI vs. CABG in diabetics • COURAGE • PCI vs. Medical therapy in stable CAD • Observational studies • Differential benefit: diabetes, smoking, PAD, CHF
Purpose • Describe trends in treatment strategy for CAD • Identify factors associated with treatment strategy • Revascularization vs. medical therapy • PCI vs. CABG • Evaluate changes in these factor with evolving PCI technology
Methods – population • Study population • Duke Databank for Cardiovascular Disease • CAD: ≥ 1 diseased vessel (50% stenosis) by coronary angiography • No prior PCI or CABG • Study eras • Angioplasty: 1986-1995 • Bare metal stent: 1996-2003 • Drug-eluting stent: 2004-2012
Methods – statistical analysis • Summarized annual rates and patient characteristics by treatment strategy • Developed a model of patient characteristics predicting treatment decision • Multivariable logistic regression model • Stepwise variable selection • Estimated interaction of each variable with era in overall model
Limitations • Single institution data • Patient preferences • Provider reasoning • Anatomic details
Conclusions • Temporal trends in treatment strategies demonstrate dramatic changes over time • Decisions in CAD dominated by cardiac factors • Comorbidities play a lesser role • Most factors influencing treatment decisions appear stable over time
