Figure 3 Five-year Kaplan-Meyer survival for 1,251 patients with diabetes and three-vessel disease and 1,515 with diabetes and two-vessel disease revascularized initially with CABG or PCI after adjusting for differences in baseline characteristics (age, gender, ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, procedural priority and comorbid conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring bronchodilator therapy, renal failure on dialysis or peripheral vascular disease). CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; HR = hazard ratio; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.
