Plain-English translation of NCT05532631 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two different ways to treat people with a weakened heart muscle and multiple blocked blood vessels. You would be randomly assigned to receive either a minimally invasive procedure with a special stent (a small mesh tube) or traditional open-heart bypass surgery. Both approaches aim to restore blood flow to your heart and will be combined with medications to help your heart function better.
Doctors are not certain which approach works better for patients like you who have both a weakened heart and multiple blockages. This trial will help determine which method leads to better outcomes and quality of life over three years.

You will undergo heart imaging tests and then be randomly assigned to receive either minimally invasive stent placement or traditional bypass surgery—both performed by experienced heart specialists. After your procedure, you will have follow-up visits at 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and potentially longer to monitor your heart health, symptoms, and quality of life. Throughout the study, you'll take medications to help your heart function and will be asked about how you're feeling and any changes in your health.
