 ACC /AHA Guidelines for Chronic Stable Angina Pectoris Class IIa Recommendation 1 for Revascularization with PCI and CABG in Patients with Chronic Stable Angina should be: CLASS I CLASS IIa CLASS IIb CLASS III 2. Use of PCI or CABG for patients with one or two vessel coronary artery disease without significant proximal LAD disease but with a moderate area of viable myocardium and demonstrable ischemia on non invasive testing. (Class IIa Level of Evidence: B)

 ACC /AHA Guidelines for Chronic Stable Angina Pectoris Class IIa Recommendation 2 for Revascularization with PCI and CABG in Patients with Chronic Stable Angina should be: CLASS I CLASS IIa CLASS IIb CLASS III 3. Use of PCI or CABG for patients with one-vessel disease with significant proximal LAD disease. (Class IIa Level of Evidence: B)
