Funded Activity Summary

Heart attacks occur when arteries of the heart become blocked, and current treatment involves unblocking the affected vessel by inserting a stent fed through a leg artery or using bypass surgery. There are different types of stents and whether they offer better outcomes than surgery in the long-term is currently undecided. We will evaluate whether patients who receive stents have better outcomes after 5 years than patients who have surgery, and what the various costs are to the health system.
