Cardiovascular Events Related to Treated Coronary Arteries in Stable Multivessel CAD

1,695 participantsStarted 1995-01-01

Plain-language summary

This retrospective cohort study evaluates cardiovascular events directly related to treated coronary arteries in patients with stable multivessel coronary artery disease. Outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention will be compared with those receiving optimized medical therapy alone. This study aims to improve understanding of how different treatment strategies impact long-term vessel-related outcomes in patients with stable multivessel coronary artery disease.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with stable multivessel coronary artery disease, defined as ≥70% stenosis in at least two major epicardial coronary arteries, with documented myocardial ischemia and clinical indication for surgical, percutaneous, or medical treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with limited life expectancy, severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction \<35%), recent acute coronary syndrome, recent revascularization procedures, significant valvular disease, chronic kidney disease (creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dL), active malignancy, or inability to complete long-term follow-up.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
