This randomized multicenter trial compares coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 358 patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction and multivessel coronary disease. The study evaluates differences in survival, major cardiovascular events, and quality of life over 4 years, and contributes to the international STICH 3.0 collaboration assessing long-term outcomes.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Hierarchical composite of all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, and heart failure hospitalizations — 4 years Outcomes will be analyzed using a hierarchical (win ratio / Finkelstein-Schoenfeld) approach to account for clinical severity
