Methods: Data were analyzed from 1820 consecutive patients diagnosed with NSTEMI, admitted to 29 hospitals in four Arabian Gulf countries from January 2012 to January 2013, and who were discharged alive. Results: Of the patients, 29.1% (n = 529) underwent either PCI (89.8%; n = 475) or CABG (10.2%; n = 54). The matching method (288 PCI\/CABG patients were matched with 762 controls that did not undergo PCI\/CABG) revealed significant reductions in MACE events among patients who had undergone PCI\/CABG (25% vs. 43%; p &lt; 0.001). This decrease was consistent across individual MACE components, including stroke\/transient ischemic attack (TIA) (2.4% vs. 7.0%; p = 0.005), all-cause mortality (4.5% vs. 7.0%; p &lt; 0.001) and cardiac-related readmissions (20% vs. 31%; p = 0.001) but not reinfarction (1.7% vs. 1.4%; p = 0.73). Conclusions: The revascularization procedures, PCI\/CABG, were associated with significant reductions in annual MACE event rates, specifically lower stroke\/TIA, all-cause mortality and cardiac-related readmissions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd12040117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,27]],"date-time":"2025-03-27T12:41:02Z","timestamp":1743079262000},"page":"117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of Revascularization on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients Without ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in the Arabian Gulf"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3626-4230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Al-Zakwani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacy, College of Medicine & Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat 123, Oman"},{"name":"Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, University Medical City, Muscat 123, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fahad","family":"AlKindi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, University Medical City, Muscat 123, Oman"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, College of Medicine & Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat 123, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wael","family":"Almahmeed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart & Vascular Institute, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi P.O.
