Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is comparing two different treatments for people with weak heart function caused by blocked coronary arteries. You would be randomly assigned to receive either bypass surgery (CABG) or a catheter-based procedure (PCI) to open up your blocked arteries and improve blood flow to your heart. Both treatments aim to fully restore blood flow and improve your heart's ability to pump.
People with weak heart function and multiple blocked arteries face a difficult choice: bypass surgery works well for long-term survival but carries higher immediate risks, while catheter procedures seem safer in the short term but we don't have clear proof they help as much. This trial will provide solid evidence about which approach is truly better for patients like you.

After you join, you'll be randomly assigned to either have bypass surgery or a catheter procedure—both performed with the goal of fully opening your blocked arteries. You'll then be followed closely for 4 years with visits to check how well your heart is working, whether you have symptoms, and how your quality of life is doing. The study will track important health events like heart attacks, strokes, repeat procedures, and heart failure hospitalizations.
