Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for High Risk Patients

Sponsor: Danish Study Group

Summary

Most patients with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) or heart failure (HF) have coronary artery disease (CAD) while some patients also have renal disease. Life-saving revascularization is underperformed in patients with LVSD or HF due to CAD, and especially if there is concomitant renal disease. We hypothesize that PCI will be non-inferior to CABG for all-cause mortality and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), stroke or hospitalization for HF. To compare revascularization by PCI versus by CABG, we will perform a multicentre, open-label, parallel, randomized, controlled trial in patients with severe CAD who belong to defined categories of moderate-to-high risk characteristics, where guidelines acknowledge that both PCI and CABG are relevant treatment options.
