About this study

Official title: Noninvasive Diagnosis of Ischemia Causing Coronary Stenosis Using Coronary CT Angiograms (CCTA) : Comparison of Transluminal Attenuation Gradient (TAG) and Fractional Flow Reserve Computed From CCTA (FFR CT)

Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive test, accurately evaluate anatomic coronary artery stenosis. However, anatomically-obstructive coronary stenosis by CCTA demonstrates an unreliable relationship to lesion-specific ischemia. Recently, with the advance of imaging reconstruction and analysis technique, several novel parameters computed from CCTA were suggested to have added value in determining the ischemia-causing coronary stenosis. In this study, diagnostic performance of transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) and fractional flow reserve computed form CCTA (FFR-CCTA) for the presence of hemodynamically-significant coronary stenosis, as determined by fractional flow reserve (FFR).

Read the detailed description

Angiographically obtained fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a useful physiologic test for assessment of lesion-specific ischemia, and a valuable adjunct to anatomic assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) as determined by invasive coronary angiography. However, the invasiveness and measuring difficulty of FFR make it unfamiliar to perform. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive test, accurately evaluate anatomic coronary artery stenosis. Although CCTA evaluation of CAD has been validated against invasive coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound, anatomically-obstructive coronary stenosis by CCTA demonstrates an unreliable relationship to lesion-specific ischemia. Recently, with the advance of imaging reconstruction and analysis technique, several novel parameters computed from CCTA were suggested to have added value in determining the ischemia-causing coronary stenosis. In this study, diagnostic performance of transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) and fractional flow reserve computed form CCTA (FFR-CCTA) for the presence of hemodynamically-significant coronary stenosis, as determined by FFR, will be compared to suggest best functional parameter noninvasively computed form CCTA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2011. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Bon-Kwon Koo, MD, PhD (82-2072-2062, bkkoo@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fractional flow reserve (time frame: 1day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Aug 2011.
