Subset of CAD by anatomy
IVD or 2VD – non proximal LAD
VD=vessel disease; CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; CAD = coronary artery disease; LAD = left anterior descending; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.
Table provides an information on the level of evidences from the clinical trials and/or metaanalyses in favour of CABG or PCI according to the anatomical localisation of the disease
