Trial summary

Chronic total occlusion is defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0 with an estimated duration of at least 3 months. The interest in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increased, but with failure rate up to 20%, leading to important developments in… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparative Study Between Intravascular Ultrasonography Guided and Angiography-guided Recanalization of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions

Chronic total occlusion is defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0 with an estimated duration of at least 3 months. The interest in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increased, but with failure rate up to 20%, leading to important developments in dedicated equipment and techniques.

In the 2014 European Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization, intravascular ultrasound was recommended to guide stent implantation in selected patients, and this recommendation was a class IIa/level of evidence B.

In CTO PCI, certain angiographic features such as blunt proximal CTO cap, tortuosity, heavy calcification, and lack of visibility of path in the distal vessel increase procedural difficulty

What participants receive

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

  • intravascular ultrasonographyDevice

    intravascular ultrasonography will be used during the study for the resolving proximal cap ambiguity of chronic total occlusion, facilitating re-entry into the true lumen after subintimal crossing and confirming distal true lumen guidewire position

What is being measured

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

  1. outcomes of intravascular ultrasound guided re-canalized CTO during the procedure and composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization

    the study will assess the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization, rehospitalization, coronary artery bypass surgery and stroke within both groups

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intravascular ultrasonography in people with Coronary Occlusion, run by Assiut University.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 19 May 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hosam Hasan, professor (+20882361015, hosam_hasan@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

outcomes of intravascular ultrasound guided re-canalized CTO during the procedure and composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03159650, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 19 May 2017.
