Key result
Bypass graft surgery shows no benefit over medical management for 2-year survival or MI.
Why the study?
Does bypass graft surgery improve clinical outcomes compared to continued medical management in patients with stable angina?
Does bypass graft surgery improve clinical outcomes compared to continued medical management in patients with stable angina?
Absolute Event Rate: 85% vs 90%
p-value: p=NS
In a small cohort of patients with stable angina, bypass graft surgery did not show statistically significant differences in survival, myocardial infarction, or angina relief compared to medical management at 2 years.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No significant differences seen in this small cohort; leaves open whether bypass improves outcomes versus medical therapy in stable angina.
WlLBERT S. ARONOW (1975) studied Stable angina (n=40). Bypass graft surgery vs. Continued medical management was evaluated on Survival (alive at 2 years) (p=NS). Bypass graft surgery showed no statistically significant differences compared to medical management for survival (85% vs 90%) or myocardial infarction (25% vs 10%) at 2 years.
