The Orbit Studies: Examining the Role of Stenting and Medication in Angina Treatment

This chapter explores the findings of the Orbit-1 and Orbit-2 studies, which investigate the effectiveness of stenting and medication in the treatment of angina. The speakers debate whether Orbit-2 challenges current guidelines that prioritize medication as a first-line treatment, and discuss the need for further research to determine the optimal treatment approach. They also examine the concerns of potential misuse and ethical issues that arise from the interpretation of study results.
