Description
Percutaneous coronary intervention in stable angina (ORBITA): a double-blind, randomised controlled trial
Objectives
- The goal of the trial was to assess the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with a sham placebo procedure for angina relief among patients with stable angina.
- The results of this trial indicate that among patients with stable angina, PCI does not result in greater improvements in exercise times or anginal frequency compared with a sham procedure. This was despite the presence of anatomically and functionally significant stenoses.
