Choosing heart bypass or stents for women with heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two common procedures to improve blood flow to the heart in women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find which approach works better for women and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have significant blockages in multiple heart arteries or in the main artery that supplies blood to the heart (left main artery).
- Your heart team is unsure whether bypass surgery or stenting is the better choice for you.
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 3 days, heart failure shock, a stent placed in the last year, or any previous heart surgery.
- You are willing to participate in follow-up visits and answer questionnaires about your quality of life for up to 10 years.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the next year, and you can take blood thinners for at least 3 to 6 months after the procedure.

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 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.
This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
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 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.
