the SYNTAX Trial

The SYNTAX Trial was a large medical study comparing two ways to treat serious heart artery blockages: bypass surgery and a procedure called PCI with stents. Researchers wanted to see which method resulted in better outcomes, like survival and fewer heart problems, especially in complex cases with multiple or complicated blockages. The study helped doctors decide the best treatment approach for patients with severe coronary artery disease by providing evidence on the risks and benefits of each option, guiding personalized and effective care.
