TL;DR: In this article, a five-year, multicenter, randomized clinical trial was designed to compare long-term survival among patients with medically refractory myocardial ischemia and a high risk of adverse outcomes assigned to either a CABG or a PCI strategy, which could include stents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous coronary intervention versus repeat bypass surgery for patients with medically refractory myocardial ischemia: AWESOME randomized trial and registry experience with post-CABG patients.
Douglass A. Morrison,Gulshan K. Sethi,Jerome Sacks,William G. Henderson,Frederick L. Grover,Steven P. Sedlis,Rick A. Esposito +6 more
TL;DR: The AWESOME randomized trial as discussed by the authors compared long-term percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) survival among post CABG patients included in the Angina With Extremely Serious Operative Mortality Evaluation (AWESOME) randomized trial and prospective registry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnicity, race, and baseline retinopathy correlates in the veterans affairs diabetes trial.
