|
1 | Zhang et al., 2003 [11] | Quality of life scores were higher in patients opting for CABG at both 6 months and 1 year. |
|
2 | Spertus et al., 2005 [12] | 1-year quality of life scores were significantly better for patients treated with CABG surgery as opposed to PCI. |
|
3 | Borkon et al., 2002 [13] | Patients undergoing CABG achieved greater quality of life at 6 and 12 months after their procedure. |
|
4 | Abdallah et al., 2013 [14] | For patients with diabetes and multivessel CAD, CABG surgery provided slightly better quality of life than PCI using drug-eluting stents. The magnitude of benefit was small, without consistent differences, beyond 2 years. |
|
5 | Cohen et al., 2011 [15] | Among patients with three-vessel or left main coronary artery disease, scores for quality of life were higher with PCI than with CABG, at 1 month. These differences were no longer apparent at 6 months. At 12 months, the score for quality of life was higher in the CABG group than in the PCI group. |
|
6 | van Domburg et al., 2008 [16] | Both stenting and CABG resulted in significant improvement in QOL of patients, up to one year, with CABG patients showing greater improvements. |
|
7 | Rumsfeld et al., 2003 [17] | High-risk patients with medically refractory ischemia randomized to PCI versus CABG surgery have equivalent six-month quality of life. |
|
8 | Szygula-Jurkiewicz et al., 2005 [18] | There is a significant difference in health-related quality of life, 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft surgery with the difference favoring the patients undergoing bypass. |
|
9 | Favarato et al., 2007 [19] | After 1 year of follow-up, the patients submitted to CABG were the ones that presented the greater improvement in QOL. |
|
10 | Währborg 1999 [2] | This study has shown that there is no general difference in health-related quality of life 1 year after bypass surgery or angioplasty. |
|
11 | Pocock et al., 1996 [20] | Both intervention strategies produce similar benefits for quality of life over several years. |
|
12 | Brorsson et al., 2001 [1] | Both bypass surgery and angioplasty lead to improved quality of life for patients with chronic stable angina and one- or two-vessel coronary artery disease. Bypass surgery is associated with better quality of life at 6 months, but by 48 months quality of life is similar for both sets of patients. |
|
13 | Serruys et al., 2001 [8] | A significantly better quality of life was reported with stenting, as compared to bypass surgery, after 1 month. No differences were reported between the two groups at 6 months and a slight difference in favor of surgery was found after 12 months. |
