What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Conservative strategyProcedure or surgery

    • Main vessel stenting was performed.
    • Side branch ballooning and kissing ballooning were done if Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow <3 in the side branch after main vessel stenting in non-left main bifurcation (non-LM) subgroup, and diameter stenosis (DS) >75% in LM subgroup.
    • Side branch stenting was performed if TIMI flow <3 in the Side branch after ballooning in non-LM subgroup, and DS >50% or dissection in the Side branch after ballooning in LM subgroup.
  • Aggressive strategyProcedure or surgery

    • Main vessel was performed.
    • Side branch ballooning and kissing ballooning were done if DS >75% in the side branch after main vessel stenting in non-LM subgroup, and DS >50% in LM subgroup.
    • Side branch stenting was performed if DS >50% in the side branch after ballooning in non-LM subgroup, and DS >30% or dissection in the side branch after ballooning in LM subgroup.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Target vessel failure (TVF)

    composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Cardiac death

    All deaths were considered cardiac unless a definite non-cardiac cause could be established.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Myocardial infarction (MI)

    MI was defined as elevated cardiac enzymes (troponin or MB fraction of creatine kinase, CK-MB) more than the upper limit of the normal value with ischemic symptoms or electrocardiography findings indicative of ischemia that was not related to the index procedure.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Target vessel revascularization (TVR)

    TVR was repeat revascularization of the target vessel by PCI or bypass graft surgery.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Target lesion revascularization (TLR)

    TLR was defined as repeat PCI of the lesion within 5 mm of stent deployment or bypass graft surgery of the target vessel.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Stent thrombosis

    Stent thrombosis was assessed based on the definitions of the Academic Research Consortium as definite, probable, or possible stent thrombosis.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Periprocedural enzyme elevation

    Periprocedural enzyme elevation was defined as a rise in CK-MB ≥3 times the upper normal limit after the index procedure.

    Measured: during the hospitalization

  7. the incidence of binary angiographic restenosis in the main branch and side branch

    as measured by 9-month quantitative coronary analysis

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conservative strategy and Aggressive strategy in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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 13 Feb 2013. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Target vessel failure (TVF) (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00794014, which also lists 3 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 13 Feb 2013.
