Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. At least moderate ischemia on an ischemia test 2. Participant is willing to comply with all aspects of the protocol, including adherence to the assigned strategy, medical therapy and follow-up visits 3. Participant is willing to give written informed consent 4. Age > 21 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Continued 19. Pregnancy (known to be pregnant; to be confirmed before CCTA and/or randomization, if applicable). 20.Patient who, in the judgment of the patient's physician, is likely to have significant unprotected left main stenosis (Those who are able to undergo CCTA will have visual assessment of the left main coronary artery by the CCTA core lab). 21. Enrolled in a competing trial that involves a non-approved cardiac drug or device. 22. Inability to comply with the protocol. 23.Exceeds the weight or size limit for CCTA or cardiac catheterization at the site. 24. Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class III angina of recent onset, OR angina of any class with a rapidly progressive or accelerating pattern. 25. Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class IV angina, including unprovoked rest angina. 26. High risk of bleeding which would contraindicate the use of dual anti platelet therapy. 27. Cardiac transplant recipient. 28. Prior CABG, unless CABG was performed more than 12 months ago, and coronary anatomy has been demonstrated to be suitable for PCI or repeat CABG to accomplish complete revascularization of ischemic areas (CCC approval required).
