Comparing bypass surgery versus stenting for Black and Hispanic patients with coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You identify as Black or Hispanic.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have blockages in multiple heart arteries or the left main artery, and your doctor agrees that either bypass surgery or stenting could be appropriate.
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 3 days, no prior bypass surgery, and no stent placed in the last year.
- You are not pregnant, can take blood-thinning medicines, and do not need other heart procedures within the next 3 years.

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.
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 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 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.
This study compares two ways of doing bypass surgery for blocked heart arteries: using only chest and arm arteries versus a mix of arteries and leg veins. The goal is to see which approach works better for long-term heart health.
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.
