The qualifier ‘often’ should be removed. It will mislead people.

Could you explain further please?

It was no better than placebo. Normally we call that useless without qualification.
-
Is stenting shown to help with mortality, if not chest pain?

It doesn't mean they don't prevent future artery blockage, ergonomic future myocardial infarctions

The procedure is done to relieve coronary artery blockage. Whether that'll also relieve chest pain is debatable and the focus of this paper.

I sent this to my dad and he sent me a strongly worded email about how he “substantially disagrees”... so y’know. Old white guy disagrees
-
Maybe he disagrees because the NYT article oversimplifies the outcome of a very good—yet very complex, nuanced and small—study.
-
Really, he disagrees because stents sorta worked for him. His anecdotal experience means more to him than a study.
-
Yeah same for me I guess, though I do think study is good. Always a challenge to extrapolate study results to individual real-world outcomes
-
Well, just because something works for one doesn’t mean it works for all. The Lancet knows what they’re talking about. I tend to trust them
-
Yep, agree. What’s good for one isn’t necessarily good for all. This study confirms what cardiologists have known about stents for 10 years.

Context matters. Joey's dad may not have fit the mold of the patients enrolled in this trial...
-
He fit the mold. He’s just LITERALLY the luckiest man alive. You have no idea what he’s survived

That is a transcather aortic valve (TAVR) in the Twitter picture not a coronary stent. The article has a coronary stent picture/drawing.

Isn’t it more about allowing the free flow of blood?

So the publication is misleading because it is underlining a resulted that was expected by default.

The most important message of this trial is that coronary stenting significantly reduced the tissue dysfunction related to target artery.

This is such a BS article.
