Baseline demographic, clinical, angiographic, and echocardiographic information was prospectively collected for all patients. There was no statistically significant difference between both groups in the baseline characteristics, including age, sex, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia (Table 1). There were 23 (57.5 %) men in the staged PCI + MVR group (Group I) and 25 (62.5 %) in the CABG + MVR group (Group II) (P= 0.648), with a mean age of 51.1±3.2 and 52.1±4.6 years (P= 1.000), and body mass index (BMI) of 27.2 ± 1.7 and 27.3 ± 2.1 (P= 0.819), respectively. The incidence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia for both groups were 82.5 versus 87.5% (P= 0.531), 37.5 versus 42.5% (P= 0.648), and 77.5 versus 82.5% (P= 0.576), respectively.
