Coronary artery bypass grafting versus percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with non ‐insulin treated type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

ConclusionsIn NITDM patients, our study suggests that CABG surgery is associated with reduced risk of mortality and morbidity, though with increased incidence of stroke compared with PCI. The decision if to have PCI or CABG surgery should factor the risk for stroke of the patients when considering CABG over PCI. Adequately‐powered randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the results of this meta‐analysis.
