In the trial, sponsored by US stent manufacturer Abbott, half the patients were given stents, the other half had open heart surgery. A spokesman for Abbott said:"The study's execution, data collection, analysis and interpretation were entirely performed by independent research organisations. The publication of three-year Excel data reflects the original follow-up period and endpoints the study was powered to assess."Prof Nick Freemantle, a biostatistician at University College London, said:"If somebody had died three years and one day into the trial, that death wouldn't have been counted in the results.
But the doctors on the trial chose not to publish the data when the safety committee asked, despite the warning. They published further data after the guidelines were completed. But the review was not shared with everyone who believed they should have seen it. One of those people was Prof Freemantle, who was involved in the European guidelines.Stents are a less invasive option than open heart surgery

Heart stopping admission
Too much pressure upon all researchers, incl. those in medicine, to publish only favorable results & to conceal unfavorable ones. Shame! Revealing interview with Oxford psychologist Dorothy Bishop, “The reproducibility crisis”. Video on Youtube.
I was told I may need a stent by one cardiologist but whe I moved my care due to relocating I was told no way would I have a stent in as that would be less ideal than open heart surgery, so my current cardiologist knows it isn't safe I would say and refused to give me one.
Nonsense, the men in which coats would NEVER do such a thing ... 🙃
Most side effects of procedures and medications are held back from the public!
The research was paid for by the stent manufacturer. The only unusual thing about this case is that the corruption’s been made public
