Comments<br />

The PTCA group had less angina, better exercise performance,<br />

and more improvement in quality-of-life<br />

scores but had more complications (emergency bypass<br />

2 patients, MI in 5, and repeat PTCA in 16)<br />

Among patients with single-vessel disease, the PTCA<br />

group had less angina, better exercise performance, and<br />

more improvement in quality-of-life scores<br />

40% of patients had previous MI, 23% had prior PTCA<br />

or CABG, and 38% had triple-vessel disease<br />

Only 2 deaths among 341 patients in 18 months; significant<br />

improvement in angina in patients treated with<br />

PTCA compared with medical therapy
