Question

A 67-year-old man with NSTEMI is started on medical therapy. He asks about revascularization indications. Which statement reflects current guidance?

Accepted Answer

CABG may improve survival in selected multivessel CAD; PCI survival benefit is uncertain in stable patients with normal EF

Answer

All patients with stable CAD should undergo revascularization before noncardiac surgery

Answer

PCI should be performed solely to reduce perioperative risk

Answer

Revascularization is never indicated in stable CAD
