About this study

Official title: Safety and Effectiveness Study of Percutaneous Catheter-based Renal Sympathetic Denervation as a Method of Secondary Prevention for Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

To study whether renal sympathetic denervation(RSD) will reduce the all-cause mortality and the recurrence rate of a composite of cardiovascular event(including angina, myocardial infarction, repeat percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting) in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Besides whether RSD can reduce the risk factors for coronary heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, contributing to over 7.2 million deaths annually. The main measures of secondary prevention of coronary heart disease are optimizing drug therapy and changing lifestyle. optimizing drug therapy, including aspirin, beta receptor blockers, lipid regulating drugs (mostly statins, a small part fibrates) and vascular angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. However, the situation for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease is not satisfying. EuroASPIRE III survey found that despite effective drug used in the primary or secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, coronary heart disease risk factors, such as high blood glucose,hypertension, high cholesterol and obesity, are still poorly controlled. At the same time sympathetic activation plays an extremely important role in the development of coronary heart disease, and high sympathetic activity after acute myocardial infarction is closely related to malignant arrhythmia and heart failure. Recently, many clinical researches have verified that catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation(RSD) can safely be used to substantially reduce blood pressure, reduce left ventricular hypertrophy, improve glucose tolerance and sleep apnea severity. Simultaneously, a marked reduction in muscle and whole-body sympathetic-nerve activity(MSNA) is apparent, with a decrease in renal and whole-body norepinephrine spillover. Hypertension, diabetes, high norepinephrine level and obstructive sleep apnea are all recognized as risk factors for the development and recurrence of coronary heart disease. So, we design this randomized parallel control clinical study to demonstrate whether RSD can reduce the mortality and the recurrence rate of a composite of cardiovascular event in patients after PCI, besides whether RSD can reduce the risk factors for coronary heart disease.

What participants receive

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

  • RSDProcedure or surgery

    Also called renal sympathetic denervation, renal denervation, renal ablation

    Contrast renal angiography was performed to localize and assess the renal arteries for accessibility and appropriateness for RSD. Once the anatomy was deemed acceptable, the internally irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter(Celcius Thermocool,Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, California) was introduced into each renal artery. then was maneuvered within the renal artery to allow energy delivery in a circumferential, longitudinally staggered manner to minimize the chance of renal artery stenosis. About six to nine ablations at 10 W for 1 min each were performed in both renal arteries. During ablation, the catheter system monitored tip temperature and impedance, altering radiofrequency energy delivery in response to a predetermined algorithm.

  • PCIProcedure or surgery

    Also called percutaneous coronary intervention

    Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat the stenotic coronary arteries of the heart found in CHD. During PCI, a cardiologist feeds a deflated balloon or other device on a catheter from the inguinal femoral artery or radial artery up through blood vessels until they reach the site of blockage in the heart. X-ray imaging is used to guide the catheter threading. At the blockage, the balloon is inflated to open the artery, allowing blood to flow. A stent is often placed at the site of blockage to permanently open the artery.

Study groups in NCT01733901
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RSD+PCI+MedicineActive comparatorWe will recruit 300 randomised CHD patients who meet the inclusion criteria. First undergo percutaneous coronary intervention, and then perform the renal artery angiography procedure to confirm anatomy. If renal artery meet the inclusion criteria, give the renal sympathetic denervation. After renal sympathetic denervation traditional secondary prevention of coronary heart disease is recommend. Finally we will conduct a clinic follow-up every six month and a telephone follow-up every three month(Total 24 months).
Receives: Procedure: RSD; Procedure: PCI
PCI+MedicinePlacebo comparatorWe aslo will recruit 300 randomised CHD patients who meet the inclusion criteria. There are no significant differences in age, gender, race, past medical history,personal history and so on between the two groups. In this group we will perform percutaneous coronary intervention firstly, then give traditional secondary prevention of coronary heart disease just like the RSD+PCI+Medicine group. Third we will conduct a clinic follow-up every six month and a telephone follow-up every three month(Total 24 months).

What is being measured

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

  1. All-cause mortality

    To study the effect of renal sympathetic denervation(RSD) on all-cause mortality in patients after PCI

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Recurrent angina pectoris

    Previous symptoms of myocardial ischemia in patients relapsed or aggravated during follow-up, or ECG ST segment depressed compared with preoperative, or need to increase the dose of antianginal drug.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Myocardial infarction

    It can be diagnosed by symptoms, ECG and myocardial markers changes.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Vascular recanalization again

    Coronary angiography shows new stenosis during the follow-up and patients need PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) again.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Chronic heart failure

    To study whether RSD can improve the patients' heart function. And it will be judged by the NYHA classification,BNP and echocardiography.

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Arrhythmia

    If a new arrhythmia is discovered during the follow-up,it will be recorded. Patients may have symptoms of flustered, palpitations, dizziness, amaurosis, syncope and so on, which can be diagnosed by ECG and Holter.

    Measured: 24 months

  6. Stroke

    During the follow-up if a new stroke occured,it will be recorded. And it can be diagnosed by symptoms, cranial CT or MRI.

    Measured: 24 months

  7. Blood pressure

    To study the effect of renal sympathetic denervation on blood pressure in patients with hypertension,which can be measured by ambulatory blood pressure.

    Measured: 24 months

  8. Blood sugar

    In order to study whether RSD can reduce the blood sugar level and insulin resistance of diabetic patients. It will be measured by fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and fasting insulin.

    Measured: 24 months

  9. Renal function

    To study whether RSD can improve the patients' renal function, which will be measured by urine albumin, creatinine and urea nitrogen levels.

    Measured: 24 months

  10. Pulse wave velocity

    So as to study whether RSD can improve the patients' blood vessel elasticity, a pulse wave velocity (PWV)will be carried on.

    Measured: 24 months

  11. Life quality

    Life quality on 36-item short-form(SF-36)Health Survey Questionnaire will be carried out during the follow-up to study the patients' life quality.

    Measured: 24 months

  12. Medication adherence

    To study the patients'Medication adherence,we will record the type ,the dose and use time of drugs patients used during the follow-up.

    Measured: 24 months
