14. Angiographic Outcomes PCI was attempted on 1,688 lesions (in 1,077 patients), of whom 1,006 received at least 1 stent 590 patients (59%) received 1 stent and 416 (41%) received 2 or more stents Stenosis diameter was reduced from a mean of 83 ± 14% to 31 ± 34% in the 244 balloon PTCA lesions, and from 82 ± 12% to 1.9 ± 8% in the 1,444 stented lesions Angiographic success (<20% residual stenosis by visual assessment) post-PCI was 93% and clinical success was 89% post-PCI.

15. Need for Subsequent Revascularization At a median 4.6 year follow-up, 21.1% of the PCI patients required an additional revascularization, compared to 32.6% of the OMT group who required a 1 st revascularization 77 patients in the PCI group and 81 patients in the OMT group required subsequent CABG surgery Median time to subsequent revascularization was 10.0 mo in the PCI group and 10.8 mo in the OMT group

30. Sensitivity and Subgroups The SAQ data were quite similar for the analysis of patients with complete data up to three years, with SAQ scores set to zero for deaths, for an analysis by initial treatment received, and imputation of missing values. Similar results were noted for subgroups defined by gender, age and severity of angina at baseline.

33. Conclusions PCI as an initial management strategy in the setting of stable CAD has not been shown to reduce the incidence of Death or MI PCI has not been shown to prolong life expectancy PCI+OMT does offer better control of angina than OMT alone Most patients will have improvement in anginal status whether treated initially with PCI+OMT or OMT alone
