Summary ISCHEMIA excluded patients with severe left main disease by design Patients with intermediate left main disease in ISCHEMIA: had greater extent of CAD indicating greater atherosclerotic burden had worse prognosis with higher risk of cardiovascular events But similar quality of life including angina-specific quality of life
Conclusions There was no evidence of meaningful heterogeneity of treatment effect across left main severity No difference in INV vs. CON for primary or major secondary clinical outcomes Increase in procedural MI but decrease in non procedural MI with INV Significant and durable benefit of INV at improving angina related QoL in symptomatic patients
