After ORBITA 2, what is the role of PCI in the contemporary management of patients with angina and coronary disease?
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Emanuele Barbato interviews Rasha Al-Lamee, the principal investigator of the ORBITA 2 trial, about the current role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Unlike ORBITA 1, ORBITA 2 focused on the effects of angioplasty as a monotherapy, without prior anti-angina treatment. The results showed that angioplasty improved symptoms...
