David Hildick-Smith Sussex Cardiac Centre
Background to ARTS
• Previous POBA studies• Meta-analysis
• 3300 patients• 1660 CABG, 1710 PTCA
• Deaths 79 PCI vs 73 CABG• Revascularisation rates 33% PCI v 3% CABG
Meta-analysis of randomised trials comparing coronary angioplasty with bypass surgery.

Background to ARTS
• Rationale for ARTS– stent technology– CABG technology– economic evaluation
Methods
• At least two lesions amenable to PCI or CABG, agreed by surgeon and cardiologist
• Allowed:– total occlusions (<1 month)
– bifurcations
– thrombus
– calcification
– tortuosity
• LVEF >30%• No previous revascularisations
Endpoints
• Primary– freedom from death, stroke, MI, revascularisation
• Secondary– angina status– medication use– cost effectiveness
at 12 months
Results
• 1200 patients at 67 centres
• Matched demographics
• Crossovers:– 6 to surgery– 19 to stenting
Results
• 99% in PCI group had assigned Rx
• 96% in CABG had assigned Rx
• PCI 2.6±1.1 lesions stented
• CABG 2.6±1.1 anastomoses made
• Arterial grafts in 93% – 95% of these had LIMA to LAD
One-year analysis

event-free survival
ARTS I Conclusions
• No significant difference between groups for death
• 17% difference in revascularisations favouring CABG
• Lower costs ($3,000) favouring PCI

ARTS II
• Aim:– non-inferiority of sirolimus-eluting stents
compared with the surgical arm of ARTS I
• Endpoints:– as for ARTS I

Conclusions
• “Early indications are that DES may be as good as CABG for multivessel disease
revascularisation” (M.Leon 2004)
• Wait for 1-year data
