It has been hypothesized that the survival benefit of coronary artery bypass (CABG) compared with percutaneous interventions (PCI) may be associated with the reduction in spontaneous myocardial infarction (SMI) achieved by surgery. This, however, has not been formally investigated. The present meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between the difference in SMI and in survival in PCI versus CABG randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
