Two-in-One heart fix: bypass plus stent may beat either alone

This study looked at a 'hybrid' approach for people with severe coronary artery disease, combining bypass surgery for the main heart artery with a stent procedure for other blocked arteries. Researchers tracked 2000 patients to see if this combined treatment reduced the risk of death, stroke, heart attack, or the need for further procedures compared to using only surgery or only stents. The goal was to find a better way to manage heart disease long-term.
