Figure 1 Search Process Algorithm
Flow chart demonstrating the resulting 10 studies that were analyzed. Subgroups of left main patients were not included due to the possibility of added confounding. ACC = American College of Cardiology; AHA = American Heart Association; CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; TCT = Trans-Catheter Therapeutics.
