Class IIb Guidelines

 * 1) Compared with CABG, PCI for patients with 2 or 3 vessel disease with significant proximal LAD coronary artery disease, who have anatomy suitable for PCI, and who have treated diabetes or abnormal left ventricular function. (Class IIb Level of Evidence: B)
 * 2) Use of PCI for patients with significant left main coronary disease who are not candidates for CABG. (Class IIb Level of Evidence: C)
 * 3) PCI for patients with 1 or 2 vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) without significant proximal LAD CAD who have survived sudden cardiac death or sustained ventricular tachycardia. (Class IIb Level of Evidence: C)
