Summary

This phase 3 trial studies 1,200 people with severe coronary artery disease and a weak heart pump (ejection fraction 40% or less). Participants are randomly assigned to receive either guideline-directed medical therapy, bypass surgery, or stenting. The study tracks survival, heart events, cognitive function, and quality of life to determine the most effective treatment strategy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Guideline-directed medical therapy, coronary artery bypass grafting, and percutaneous coronary intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this trial could show which treatment—medication, bypass surgery, or stenting—is best for improving survival, heart function, and thinking skills in people with advanced heart disease.
What could go wrong
This trial is currently suspended, and results may not apply to all patients. The study is large but still uncertain, and all procedures carry risks like infection, bleeding, or heart complications.

Inclusion Criteria: * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40% within prior 6 months (any local measurement, made within the past 6 months using echocardiography, multigated acquisition (MUGA), computed tomography (CT) scanning, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ventricular angiography is acceptable, provided no subsequent measurement above 40%) * Participants with multivessel CAD (defined as severe 3 vessel disease or 2 vessel disease including left anterior descending (LAD) artery disease) on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or invasive coronary angiography * CAD amenable to either PCI or CABG as determined by the local heart team * Participant is willing to comply with all aspects of the protocol, including adherence to the assigned strategy, medical therapy and follow-up visits * Participant is able and willing to give written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Decompensated heart failure or cardiogenic shock in the past 48 hours prior to randomization * Concomitant significant valvular heart disease requiring surgery * Prior cardiac surgery * Dementia with loss of capacity to consent (clinically evident or previously diagnosed) * Stroke within the previous 6 months or spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage at any time * History of noncompliance with medical therapy * Life expectancy less than the duration of the trial due to non-cardiovascular comorbidity * Pregnancy (known to be pregnant; to be confirmed before randomization, if applicable)
