About this study
Official title: A Randomised Controlled Trial to Compare Routine Pressure Wire Assessment With Conventional Angiography in the Management of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.
A randomised controlled trial to compare two strategies for the investigation of coronary artery disease at the time of angiography. Patients will be randomised to conventional angiography or additional, routine pressure wire assessment - measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) - in all main vessels judged as being of sufficient vessel calibre to allow percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (experimental arm).
Read the detailed description
The study will recruit patients undergoing angiography for the investigation of stable angina or for the assessment of a recent, but stabilised, non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome event. Eligible patients who provide written informed consent will be randomised to conventional angiography or additional, routine pressure wire assessment - measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) - in all main vessels judged as being of sufficient vessel calibre to allow percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (experimental arm). The study pragmatic design allows investigators to conduct all diagnostic and therapeutic management in accordance with prevailing best practice patterns. Study outcome measures will examine resource utilisation, patient reported quality of life and clinical events at 1 year.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Routine Measurement of FFRDevice
Also called Pressure wire assessment
FFR measurement will be performed in all major vessels with normal (TIMI 3) flow. Occluded vessels and vessels with TIMI flow <3 will not be examined but will be 'awarded' an FFR value of 0.5
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Conventional angiography | No intervention | Routine angiography will be performed according to local best practice |
| Routine Measurement of FFR | Experimental | Additional investigation with the measurement of FFR in all major vessels Receives: Device: Routine Measurement of FFR |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary Economic Outcome Measure
Resource utilisation as determined by hospital care costs at one year; All hospital admissions will be tracked using national hospital episode statistics; the cost of each episode will be derived from a cost model using standard UK tariffs.

Secondary outcomes (10)
Management strategy information
- Proportion of vessels deemed to demonstrate flow-limiting disease and targeted for revascularisation in the declared initial management strategy.
Measured: Reported once: Single declaration at index procedure after randomisation

Hospitalisation events
Hospitalisation events coded as cerebro-vascular accident (CVA).
