Compare bypass or stent treatment in weak heart patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stent procedure (PCI)—in people with a weak pumping heart. It looks at which approach works best when the heart muscle is not pumping well and there are multiple blocked heart arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- Your heart pumping function is low (left ventricular ejection fraction 40% or less) from a test within the last 2 months
- You have important blockages in multiple coronary arteries (often involving the LAD or left main artery), confirmed by angiogram or pressure-based tests
- You’ve been started on heart medicines (guideline-directed therapy) for at least 1 month, or started in the hospital before the procedure when newly diagnosed
- A Heart Team says you could reasonably get either bypass surgery or a stent (CABG or PCI)
- You can give informed consent

This study compares two common ways to treat blocked heart arteries: bypass surgery and stenting. It aims to find which works better for Black and Hispanic patients with multiple blockages.
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
This trial compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI)—in people whose heart pumps weakly (LVEF 40% or less). It aims to find which method works better for chest pain or recent heart issues.
This study compares two approaches for people with heart failure and a weak heart pump: opening blocked heart arteries with a stent plus standard medicines, versus standard medicines alone. It aims to see if adding the stent procedure improves outcomes.
This study compares two ways to treat blockages in multiple heart arteries: one is standard bypass surgery, the other combines a less invasive stent procedure with bypass surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer risks while fully restoring blood flow to your heart.
