['This study will evaluate the difference between the frequency of restenosis in myocardial revascularization procedures by stents and CABG by coronarographic control after clinical criteria (angina).', 'Out of the total of 6564 coronarographies performed (1999-2002) for diagnosis purposes, 3110 patients (44.8%) underwent myocardial revascularization procedures, PCI or CABG. PCI was performed in 981 patients (31%) and CABG in 1148 patients (37.3%). At the same time, we performed in our units 2067 surgical procedures, out of which 1148 (55%) revascularizations by CABG. The angiographic control for patients with myocardial revascularization by stent (55 patients) or CABG (50 patients) was performed by clinical criteria (angina reappears) on 105 patients. The restenosis we found in 47 patients (74.5%) treated by stent revascularization and in 29 patients from CABG procedures. In our study restenosis rate was 4.8% in patients with PCI and 2.5% in patients with CABG.'] Is restenosis in the coronary stent an argument for the surgical myocardial revascularization?
