About this study

Although first generation DES reduced instent restenosis, still remained the unsolved problems such as stent thrombosis and restenosis in the era of DES. Second generation DES had been developed to improve the biocompatibility of stent coating focused on polymer compared to first generation DES, so that second generation stents showed better outcomes compared with first generation DES. On the other hands, in third generation DES, further refinement of DES involved more flexible stent platform. Promus ElementTM (Everolimus eluting stent, Boston Scientific, Nastick, MA) and Resolute Integrity® (Zotarolimus eluting stent, Medtronic Vascular, Santa Rosa, CA) are the third generation drug eluting stents which are designed to increase flexibility. In previous randomized controlled studies, both of these stents have shown at least non-inferior angiographic and clinical outcomes compared to second generation DES. However, there is lack of data about comparison of angiographic and clinical outcomes between Promus ElementTM and Resolute Integrity®.

IVUS is one of the widely used intracoronary imaging devices to provide more reproducible and accurate information about coronary anatomy than angiography in current practice.8 Optimal stent expansion assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been reported as an important factor to prevent stent thrombosis or restenosis.9 Accordingly, there have been many studies to evaluate the procedural or clinical benefit of IVUS guided angioplasty. However, The clinical benefit of IVUS-guided angioplasty with stent implantation is still in a controversy. In the previous studies, IVUS-guided stent implantation showed positive or negative beneficial effect on clinical outcomes according to their study subjects. However, the stents used in the previous studies are less useful in current practice of cardiology and there is lack of data of 3rd generation DES, which have different stent profiles and outcomes with their predecessors.

Thus we would perform a prospective randomized study in order to compare the efficacy of IVUS-guided angioplasty with conventional angioplasty-guided procedure in the long coronary lesion. Our main hypothesis is IVUS-guided 3rd generation DES implantation in the long coronary lesions would have better clinical outcomes compared with conventional angiography-guided strategy. We also intend to assess the clinical outcomes after Promus ElementTM and Resolute Integrity® implantation.

What participants receive

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

  • IVUS guided percutaneous coronary angioplasty with Resolute integrity stent insertionProcedure or surgery

    Resolute integrity stent implantation (diameter from 2.5mm to 3.5mm, length 30, 34, 38mm) The size and number of stents and post-dilation will be determined on physician's discrete within the range allowed in this study protocol. All procedure will be performed according to current standard technique. IVUS will be used to assess the anatomic characteristics of lesion and determine appropriate stent size and length. Additional stent implantation or post dilation will be allowed according to attending physician's discrete based on IVUS results.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IVUS guided percutaneous coronary angioplasty with Resolute integrity stent insertion, Angiography guided percutaneous coronary angioplasty with Resolute integrity stent insertion and Angiography guided percutaneous coronary angioplasty with Promus element stent implantation in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yonsei University 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 28 Mar 2019. 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?

Efficacy of angiography or IVUS guided third generation stent implantation (time frame: 1 year after implantation). 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 28 Mar 2019.
