Most comprehensive meta-analysis (19,806 pts) with longest FU to date in EHJ shows coronary revasc in stable CAD reduces cardiac death (by 21%, P<0.001) and spontaneous MI (by 26%, P<0.001). Effect incr w/longer FU and similar in w/PCI vs CABG and w/w/o post-ACS or CTO. See poll.

Final poll results. After 25 trials with nearly 20,000 randomized pts, there is still uncertainty as to whether revascularization reduces cardiac death and spontaneous MI in stable CAD, although 2/3 think yes. My belief: yes, but the absolute magnitude in most cases is small.
