Scientific titleNordic-Baltic-British left main revascularisation study: coronary artery bypass grafting versus drug eluting stent percutaneous coronary angioplasty in the treatment of unprotected left main stenosis
Study acronymNOBLE Study
Study hypothesisThe purpose of the study is to find the most effective treatment for unprotected left main stenosis (UPLM) disease. The patients will be randomised after the diagnostic angiogram and when both the cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists have agreed the patient is suitable for either treatment group.

Patients will be randomised on a 1:1 basis. A registry of all UPLM patients and reasons for inclusion and exclusion will be also documented during the study.

The theory behind the study is that stenting of the left main stem may be of equal efficacy and safety to the current gold standard treatment, which is coronary artery bypass surgery. Coronary artery bypass surgery carries significant periprocedural morbidities so if it is proved that stenting is equivalent or superior, this would represent a good option for patients.
