Creating a tool to help patients choose treatments for coronary artery disease

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to develop a Decision Support Tool (DST) that assists patients with coronary artery disease in understanding their treatment options, specifically comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). By collaborating with patients and healthcare professionals, the study seeks to ensure that the tool reflects individual preferences and values in treatment decisions. The approach involves co-designing the DST through workshops and focus groups, gathering insights from both patients who have experienced revascularization and healthcare providers involved in decision-making. The goal is to empower patients with information that aids in making informed choices about their care.
