SMART-CASE: Angiographic Guidanceangioplastyto >50% versus >70% lesions.

This prospective randomized study compared aggressive revascularization angiography injuries 50% versus a most conservative revascularization lesions>70%.The primary end point was death, myocardial infarction and recurring revascularization. We included a total of 889 patients (449 in the aggressive revascularization group and 450 in the conservative revascularization group).No differences in major cardiac events between the two groups were observed, patients over 65 years showed more events with aggressive revascularization.
