Brief Summary

The primary objective of the STICH 3.0 Study is to determine whether CABG is superior to PCI in terms of all-cause mortality at 5 years in patients with severe CAD and iLVSD. Individual patient data from similar national RCTs independently powered for different efficacy endpoints will be pooled, harmonized, and analyzed. The primary endpoint is all-cause mortality.
