In patients with ULM stenosis, PCI with sirolimus-eluting stents did not show noninferiority [corrected] to CABG at 12-month follow-up with respect to freedom from major adverse cardiac events, which is mainly influenced by repeated revascularization, whereas for hard endpoints, [corrected] PCI results are favorable. A longer follow-up is warranted. [corrected]

Radiopaque coronary bypass graft markers can improve the detection of bypass grafts during subsequent coronary angiography and are associated with a lower radiation time and less consumption of contrast agent. Thus, this easy and cost-efficient technique might significantly reduce the risk of coronary angiography after CABG.
