BARI 2D: Prompt Revascularization Reduces Ischemic Symptoms Over 3 Years Analysis of the BARI 2D trial Conclusion: In diabetic patients with stable ischemic heart disease, a strategy of early revascularization and optimal medical therapy achieves better angina outcomes than does optimal medical therapy alone.

If the goal was really best outcomes why aren’t physicians monitored for potential underuse? Overuse may cost money Underuse costs lives
We have hoodwinked the patients into denying themselves treatment If you have a treatment that may help and doesn’t harm you take it We have convinced the patient to do the opposite
Conclusions In cases of moderate symptoms PCI provides immediate and superior symptomatic relief vs “OMT” (i.e., crossovers are Rx failure) with no cost of MI, death or CABG In cases of moderate symptoms PCI provides immediate and superior symptomatic relief vs “OMT” (i.e., crossovers are Rx failure) with no cost of MI, death or CABG In cases of demonstrated ischemia or critical anatomy the overwhelming evidence favors revascularization to reduce death and MI In cases of demonstrated ischemia or critical anatomy the overwhelming evidence favors revascularization to reduce death and MI “OMT” alone is safe for mild symptoms, little or no ischemia and noncritical anatomy …..Period “OMT” alone is safe for mild symptoms, little or no ischemia and noncritical anatomy …..Period
