About this study

After PCI searching for target lesion ischemia with intracoronary ECG will be performed and if found it will be treated pharmacologically

Read the detailed description

The study will include patients with coronary lesions and PCI. It will include patients with stable or unstable angina, without elevated hs-TnT. PCI will be performed and monitoring of intracoronary ST elevation. Any dissection or acute vessel closure will be promptly treated with balloon or stenting.

Although there could be good angiographic result sometimes ischemia could be detected in the treated region by means of intracoronary ECG ST elevation above 1mm.

This study aims to tackle this issue with randomization of the patients into three possible treatments - intracoronary adenosine, IIb/IIIa inhibitors or nitroglycerine alone - intracoronary ST segment will be searched for reverse or residual ischemia after the pharmacologic bolus.

The intracoronary electrocardiography (i.c. ECG) is a very sensitive method for ischemia detection. The i.c. ECG reacts earlier on ischemia; the changes are much more prominent and easy to register. The wire tip could be positioned directly in different regions and thus to "map" regional ischemia. In most of the studies and from our own observations became evident that when surface ECG do not react the i.c. ECG demonstrates significant changes in ST-segment and QRS complex. Moreover, the registration of i.c. ECG is very cheap and needs only an adapter connecting coronary wire end and ECG. An i.c. ECG also can differentiate residual ischemic changes in distal main vessel and side branch as sources of prolonged ischemia, respectively - source of periprocedural myonecrosis.

Once good angiographic result is obtained after stenting there could be different reasons for ischemia in the treated region - microembolic debris or coronary microvascular spasm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Ischemia, run by Alexandrovska University Hospital at 1 site in Bulgaria.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 26 Dec 2017. 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 Bulgaria. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intracoronary ischemia change after intracoronary drug bolus (time frame: 12 months). 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 26 Dec 2017.
