Long term follow up after deferral of revascularisation in patients with intermediate coronary stenoses and negative dobutamine stress echocardiography

RESULTS Three of 47 (6%) patients were excluded because of technically inadequate DSE. Because of positive DSE, coronary intervention was performed in 6/44 (14%) patients (Int group: 4 PTCA, 2 CABG). [...]the study is prospective but non-randomised and does therefore not provide comparative data fro...

Description
Summary:RESULTS Three of 47 (6%) patients were excluded because of technically inadequate DSE. Because of positive DSE, coronary intervention was performed in 6/44 (14%) patients (Int group: 4 PTCA, 2 CABG). [...]the study is prospective but non-randomised and does therefore not provide comparative data from a control group. [...]to assess the approach of the present study, a large prospective and randomised study is highly desirable.
