Background: There is an absence of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing types of revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Our aim was to compare the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery graft bypass (CABG) among patients with CAD and LVSD. Methods The PubMed online database (from 1976 to November, 2014) and EMbase (from 1974 to November, 2014) were searched. Studies comparing the outcomes of PCI versus CABG among patients with left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction <50%) were included. Random- and fixed-effect models were used depending on between-study heterogeneity. Results Due to absence of RCT...
