Study Overview

Brief Summary

Percutaneous coronary intervention with a sirolimus-coated stent compared to minimally invasive bypass surgery in patients with isolated proximal left anterior descending coronary arteries in terms of non-inferiority of an end point combining mortality, acute myocardial infarction and rate of reintervention of the target vessel within one year.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Single-vessel disease of the proximal LAD with a stenosis > 50% (multivessel disease only if further coronary vessel stenoses do not require treatment)
  • •Patients with angina pectoris (CCS 1-4)
  • •Asymptomatic patients if clear signs of ischemia in the segments supplied by the LAD as assessed by bicycle ergometry or treadmill and/or scintigraphically and/or stress echo
  • •Patients for whom both methods of treatment are equally possible
  • •Consensus between the cardiac surgeon and the cardiologist that both inclusion and

Exclusion Criteria

  • •are met in the selected case
  • •Informed consent of the patient.
  • •Exclusion Criteria:
  • •Patients < 18 years
  • •Previous coronary artery bypass surgery
  • •Concomitant diseases that lead to a greater risk for each of the treatment strategies
  • •Significant peripheral arterial occlusive disease
  • •Concomitant disease with limited life expectancy (e.g. malignant tumours that have not been curatively treated)
  • •Objective follow-up examination not possible due to physical or mental handicap
  • •Participation in another study.
  • •Angiographical exclusion criteria:
  • •Left main stem stenosis
  • •Multivessel disease for which surgical or interventional therapy on other vessel areas is required.
  • •Diagonal/septal branch > 1.5 mm, which might be compromised by a stent
  • •Need for acute intervention (e.g. acute myocardial infarction)
  • •Total occlusion of the LAD
