Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term clinical outcomes after stenting bifurcation coronary artery lesions, and to determine whether simple or more complex techniques are associated with a better clinical outcome. We will also assess the risk factors associated with poorer clinical outcomes Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term clinical outcomes after stenting bifurcation coronary artery lesions, and to determine whether simple or more complex techniques are associated with a better clinical outcome. We will also assess the risk factors associated with poorer clinical outcomes

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery disease affecting the branch points of coronary arteries (bifurcation lesions) has a higher rate of restenosis after angioplasty than disease in regions not involving branch points. Post-procedural angiographic outcomes and in-hospital outcomes have been documented for a variety of techniques, but none have examined the long-term clinical outcomes.

Long-term clinical outcomes are important from the patients point of view and also determine the use of resources. Knowledge of the long-term outcomes from the various techniques used to treat bifurcation lesions would be important in determining guidelines for the treatment of bifurcation lesions. If simple techniques offer similar or better outcomes than more complex strategies, then this would justify simpler techniques such as main vessel stenting that would use less resources, expose the patient to less radiation, and contrast related to prolonged angioplasty procedures.

Comparisons: We will compare the long-term outcomes of simple versus complex stent techniques, and determine other risk factors for long-term outcome

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Death, run by VA Boston Healthcare System at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00325884, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Apr 2024.
