Plain-English translation of NCT06567626 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
This study is designing and testing a Decision Support Tool—a webpage and printed materials—to help people with coronary artery disease (a condition where arteries supplying the heart become blocked) make informed choices between two main treatments: stents (tiny tubes inserted into blocked arteries) or bypass surgery (rerouting blood around the blockage). Researchers are working with patients who have already had these treatments and healthcare professionals to build the tool, then testing whether it actually helps people waiting for a procedure make decisions that feel right for them.
Right now, people facing these two treatment options don't always have clear, personalized information to help them decide which is best for their own situation. This tool aims to give people the knowledge and support they need to work together with their doctors on a choice that matches their values and preferences.

If you've already had treatment, you might join a workshop, focus group, or one-on-one interview to share what helped or what confused you about making your choice. If you're waiting for a procedure, you would use the decision tool online or in printed form and then answer questions or participate in an interview about whether it was helpful and easy to use. The study has two phases: first, designing the tool with people's feedback, then testing it with patients about to have a procedure.
