Heart attack patients: is stenting as good as bypass surgery for multiple blockages?

NCT ID NCT01311323

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study compares two treatments for people with multiple blocked heart arteries who have had a recent heart attack or unstable angina. One treatment is stenting (a less invasive procedure to open blockages), and the other is bypass surgery (a more invasive surgery to reroute blood flow). The goal is to see if stenting is as safe and effective as surgery at preventing major heart problems, death, or stroke within one year. The study will enroll 1,000 adults who need urgent treatment.
