  • No difference in stroke
  • Higher rates of spontaneous MI and revascularization after PCI

CONCLUSIONS – NOBLE Five Year Follow Up 

  • The NOBLE trial is conclusive: PCI was inferior to CABG in treatment of LMCA stenosis at 5 years for the primary endpoint of MACCE
  •  Mortality was similar for PCI and CABG
  • Difference in MACCE driven by higher rates of non-procedural myocardial infarctions and repeat revascularization after PCI
  • SYNTAX score <23 did not identify a subgroup with more balanced outcome
