In a randomized trial, 2287 patients with coronary artery disease and evidence of ischemia were assigned to receive optimal medical therapy with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). At a median of 4.6 years, the rates of death and myocardial infarction were 19.0% in the PCI group and 18.5% in the medical-therapy group. The PCI group had lower rates of angina and repeat revascularization.
