REVascularization for Ischemic VEntricular Dysfunction — British Cardiovascular Intervention Society-2
Patient / Population Intervention / Exposure Comparison Outcome
In 700 patients with ischaemic LV dysfunction (LVEF ≤35%) and viable myocardium, PCI plus optimal medical therapy did not reduce all-cause death or HF hospitalisation compared with optimal medical therapy alone.

ResultPCI 37.2% vs optimal medical therapy 38.0% (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.78-1.27, P=0.96); neutral, with no difference in LVEF or quality of life. Median follow-up 41 months.

Discussion & critique
Enrolled largely stable, minimally symptomatic patients selected for viability. Alongside STICH and ISCHEMIA, challenged the viability-guided revascularisation paradigm and downgraded routine PCI for ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
