Definition
|
![bullet](_themes/strtedge/astrbul1e.gif) | NIH-funded worldwide trial based at NYU |
![bullet](_themes/strtedge/astrbul1e.gif) | The study aim is to compare an initial invasive strategy of cath and
optimal revascularization (PCI or CABG) + optimal medical therapy (OMT),
with a conservative strategy of OMT alone, with cath reserved for OMT
failure. |
![bullet](_themes/strtedge/astrbul1e.gif) | Blinded coronary CTA is performed before randomization for patients
with eGFR 60 or above, to rule out left main disease. |
![bullet](_themes/strtedge/astrbul1e.gif) | Patients with eGFR 30-59 may be enrolled if the treating physician
does not believe left main disease is very likely
|
