Almost certainly true since in multiple comparisons (although most are a little old) between the US and other countries it has been shown that the US aggressive intervention rate (stenting or CABG) is much higher but the mortality is no different.
Recent studies also suggest that for patients with especially serious heart disease, stents may fail to match up to the more-invasive procedure they were supposed to replace: bypass surgery.
Also very probably true. Again been shown that for the same patient type CABG has less cummulative risk of MI or death at 2 or 3 years out then if they were treated with stents - although the CABG risk is mostly at the front end (major surgery complications).
If stents fail to win that face-off, "it will be a major challenge to current practice,"
In the US. Much less so in Europe etc where this is more aligned with current practice anyway.
BTW - This is different than a discussion about whether to DES or to BMS -g-.
