Trial summary

Even in the era of drug-eluting stents, bifurcation lesions remain one of the most challenging lesion subsets in coronary intervention practice.

About this study

Official title: Physiological and Clinical Assessment of the Provisional Side-branch Intervention Strategy for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions Using iFR Pressure Wires

Even in the era of drug-eluting stents, bifurcation lesions remain one of the most challenging lesion subsets in coronary intervention practice. This study was performed to evaluate the functional outcomes of pressure wires (IFR)-guided jailed side-branch intervention strategy.

Read the detailed description

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements require minimal and constant microvascular resistance which is routinely achieved by intravenous adenosine infusion. Adenosine-induced hyperemia establishes an optimal vascular environment for FFR measurement. However, breathlessness and chest tightness are common adverse events during adenosine infusion and severe asthma occurs occasionally. The Introduction of an adenosine-independent index (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR]) into clinical practice offered easier and hyperemia-free method for lesion assessment.

Physiological changes and clinical evaluation of iFR warrants further research. Therefore, the investigators conducted this study to evaluate the functional aspects of iFR-guided provisional jailed side-branch intervention strategy and compare clinical endpoints to conventional non-iFR-guided operations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iFR pressure-wire and Conventional in people with Coronary Bifurcation Lesions, run by Nova-Med Medical Research Association.

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 4 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 23 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Physiological evaluation of iFR-guided intervention (time frame: 6-month). 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 23 Jan 2017.
