Summary

This trial compares two procedures for restoring blood flow to the arteries of the heart in women. One procedure involves using a wire mesh tube to open blockages through a small incision in the wrist or groin

Who is the study for?
This clinical trial is for women with coronary artery disease. It's designed to compare two different heart procedures: one that uses a small tube to open blockages and another that creates a detour around the blockage using healthy blood vessels.
What is being tested?
The study tests two treatments for blocked heart arteries in women: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), where blockages are opened with a stent, and Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), an open-heart surgery for creating bypasses around blockages.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from PCI include bleeding at the incision site, infection, or allergic reactions to materials used. CABG may involve longer recovery times and risks like wound infections or complications from anesthesia.
