Who might be able to join this trial:
- The person must be female.
- The person must be at least 18 years old.
- The person must have coronary artery disease affecting multiple blood vessels or the main artery of the heart, where the medical team has determined that either open-heart bypass surgery or a stenting procedure (to open blocked arteries) would be a reasonable treatment option.
- The person must be able to sign a consent form and take part in all follow-up visits, including completing quality-of-life questionnaires.
Who may not be able to join:
- The person has had a severe heart attack (a specific type called ST-elevation MI) within the past 3 days.
- The person is currently in a life-threatening state of heart failure known as cardiogenic shock.
- The person has had a stenting procedure (PCI) within the past year, or has ever had open-heart bypass surgery (CABG) at any point in the past.
- A treatment plan is already in place that combines both a stenting procedure and bypass surgery.
- Only a single blood vessel is planned to be treated (unless the blockage is only in the main heart artery).
- The person needs any other heart surgery or heart procedure now or is expected to need one within the next 3 years.
- The person is pregnant, or a pregnancy test taken within one week before joining the trial is positive, or the person plans to become pregnant within one year of joining.
- The person is unable to take a specific type of blood-thinning medication (dual antiplatelet therapy) for the required period — at least 3 months for stable heart disease, or at least 6 months following a certain type of heart event involving elevated troponin levels (confirm with trial site).
- The person is currently enrolled in another clinical trial for an experimental drug or device that has not yet reached its main study goal.
- The person has a non-heart-related illness that means their life expectancy is less than 3 years.
- The person has any condition — such as a cognitive disability, substance use issues, or plans to move overseas — that may make it difficult to follow the study requirements or attend follow-up visits for up to 10 years.
