The aim of the DANish trial in Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANAMI) study was to compare an
invasive strategy of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
with a conservative strategy in patients
with inducible myocardial ischemia who received thrombolytic treatment
for a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
At 2.4 years' follow-up (median), mortality was 3.6% in the invasive treatment group and 4.4% in the conservative treatment group (not significant)

Coronary Angioplasty Versus Medical Therapy For Angina:
The Second Randomized Intervention Treatment of Angina (RITA-2) Trial. RITA-2 Trial Participants. Lancet. 1997; 350: 461-468.
Death or definite myocardial infarction occurred in 32 patients (6.3%) treated with PTCA
and in 17 patients (3.3%) with medical care (absolute difference 3.0% [95% CI 0.4-5.7%]. p = 0.02).
