What are the long-term outcomes of coronary angioplasty in patients with stable angina? 
A 2005 study by Clayton et al. examined the long-term outcomes of coronary angioplasty in patients with stable angina. The study found that coronary angioplasty was associated with a lower risk of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke compared to medical therapy. A 2007 study by Henderson et al. found that the 7-year outcomes of coronary angioplasty and medical therapy were similar. However, the study found that angioplasty was associated with a lower risk of revascularization in the first 7 years. A 2007 study by Poole-Wilson et al. found that the long-term outcomes of isolated stable angina due to coronary heart disease were favorable, with a low incidence of myocardial infarction and death over a 7-year period.
