Abstract
In 1981 we initiated a randomized trial at the Thoraxcenter in Rotterdam which was later extended to include four other hospitals cooperating in the Netherlands Interuniversity Cardiology Institute: the Zuiderziekenhuis in Rotterdam, the Free University in Amsterdam, the St. Annadal Hospital in Maastricht and the Leiden University Hospital. Since the global results of the study have been published in the Lancet (4) and in other journals (3, 5) we present a summary of the findings and discuss the clinical consequences of the trial.
