- W2077776858 abstract "In the 1950s, ligature of internal mammary arteries (under local anaesthesia) was an accepted treatment for angina pectoris. Ligature of these thoracic wall arteries was believed to open or create collateral blood vessels to the ischaemic myocardium, although such anastomoses were never detected. Responses seen after mammary arteries had been prepared for ligature but not ligated prompted placebo trials to be done. They showed that sham procedures were as effective as ligatures and that their response was maintained for at least 6 months.1Wall PD The placebo and the placebo response..in: Wall PD Melzack R Textbook of pain. 3rd edn.

After thoracotomy under general anaesthesia, channels were pierced through ischaemic myocardium to the ventricular chamber by means of a laser beam. “Angiogenesis and growth of existing vessels… due to inflammation in response to the microinjuries around the channels” is the putative mechanism of action. Patients were assigned either surgery and medication or medication alone. Sham surgery was not included (ie, placebo response to surgery was ignored). The investigators admit that “improvements may be due to a placebo effect”. However, to admit that bias exists does not remove the obligation to avoid it.Sham procedures may be unethical. But how ethical are methodologically flawed trials? Their results-inevitably biased-will guide other patients' treatment.
