13-year follow-up of the German angioplasty bypass surgery investigation.
AIMS The German Angioplasty Bypass Surgery Investigation was designed to compare symptomatic efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA) with coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with symptomatic multi-vessel disease. This follow-up study was performed to determine the long-term outcome of patients following these interventions. METHODS AND RESULTS Fro...
متن کاملFive-year follow-up of the Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study (MASS-II): prologue to COURAGE.
Clinical trials are organized for many different reasons. Most drug and device trials are designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a drug or device, not to prove that they are the optimal treatments for patients. On the other hand, treatment strategy trials are designed to study the value of one therapeutic regimen compared with another when equipoise or confusion exists regarding whi...
متن کاملMedical care costs and quality of life after randomization to coronary angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery. Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI) Investigators.
BACKGROUND Randomized trials comparing coronary angioplasty with bypass surgery in patients with multivessel coronary disease have shown no significant differences in overall rates of death and myocardial infarction. We compared quality of life, employment, and medical care costs during five years of follow-up among patients treated with angioplasty or bypass surgery. METHODS A total of 934 o...
متن کاملThe Dutch experience in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of narrowed saphenous veins used for aortocoronary arterial bypass.
Of 19,994 percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty procedures performed in The Netherlands between April 1980 and January 1989, the long-term follow-up of 454 patients who underwent angioplasty of greater than or equal to 1 saphenous vein bypass graft was reviewed. In 46% of patients single graft angioplasty was attempted, and in 54% of patients sequential graft angioplasty was attempted....
متن کاملImportance of considering atherosclerosis progression when choosing a coronary revascularization strategy: the diabetes-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty dilemma.
The choice of which coronary revascularization strategy is best for diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease has always been complex. The presence of diabetes, especially insulin-requiring diabetes, has been associated with higher rates of acute and late-term adverse events for both PTCA1 and bypass surgery,2 making either approach seemingly suboptimal. The results of the Bypass Angi...
