About this trial
Most patients with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) or heart failure (HF) have coronary artery disease (CAD) while some patients also have renal disease. Life-saving revascularization is underperformed in patients with LVSD or HF due to CAD, and especially if there is concomitant renal disease. We hypothesize that PCI will be non-inferior to CABG for all-cause mortality and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), stroke or hospitalization for HF. To compare revascularization by PCI versus by CABG, we will perform a multicentre, open-label, parallel, randomized, controlled trial in patients with severe CAD who belong to defined categories of moderate-to-high risk characteristics, where guidelines acknowledge that both PCI and CABG are relevant treatment options.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years
LVEF<45% with or without HF medication
Heart team believes that a meaningful revascularization can be achieve both by PCI and by CABG
Patients with severe CAD, where guidelines suggest equipoise between PCI and CABG
Disqualifiers
Decompensated HF requiring inotropic/adrenergic support, invasive or non-invasive ventilation or intra-aortic balloon pump/ ventricular assist device therapy less than 48 hours prior to randomization
Recent (< 1 month) ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Recent (< 1 month) type 2 myocardial infarction ▪ Valvular heart disease or any other cardiac conditions (for example, left ventricular aneurysm) indicating the need for surgical repair/replacement
Prohibitive bleeding risk or clinical scenario mandating avoidance of long-term dual antiplatelet therapy
