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
