A multi-institutional team of scientists led by Dr. Mario Gaudino , the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Professor in Cardiothoracic Surgery and assistant dean for clinical trials at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been approved for a nearly $30 million funding award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). The award will fund the first study among women, Black and Hispanic patients comparing the effectiveness of two revascularization options used to treat coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease, a narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, is the leading cause of death in the United States.
