A historical overview of the evolution of clinical assessment methods for coronary bypass surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Coronary bypass surgery developed as another in a line of surgical procedures dating back more than 60 years. The medical profession at first assessed this procedure with time-honored anecdotal techniques. Gradually, for a variety of reasons, improved methods of comparisons worked their way into assessments of bypass surgery. Randomized controlled trials met resistance but have been very influential. Assessment of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has benefited from the knowledge generated during the last 25 years, but clinicians have been slower to apply the most advanced techniques.

Thomas A. Preston (1989) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Coronary bypass surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was evaluated. The assessment of coronary bypass surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has evolved to include randomized controlled trials, though advanced techniques are applied slowly.
