About this study

Official title: Properties of Myocardial Microcirculation in Patients With Different Pathomorphological Substrates, Before and After Recanalization of Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusion

This study will evaluate the changes in myocardial microcirculatory parameters of the collateral donor artery after recanalization of coronary artery chronic total occlusion.

Read the detailed description

This study will include patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of one coronary artery who will undergo the recanalization of the CTO. Before the procedure, myocardial viability, ischemia, functional parameters of the collateral donor blood vessels, echocardiography, and quality of life will be assessed. After the recanalization, these parameters will be assessed again 24h and 6 months after the procedure.

Patients with chronic total occlusion of the coronary arteryOtherIn each patient before the PCI procedure, the investigators will assess myocardial viability, functional parameters of collateral blood vessels, and quality of life. 24h and 6 months after the procedure these parameters will be reevaluated as well as functional parameters of the treated coronary artery.
Receives: Procedure: percutaneous coronary intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Coronary flow reserve

    Change in coronary flow reserve of the collateral donor vessel (after PCI as compared to values before PCI) will be regarded as primary outcome measure

    Measured: six months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Coronary flow velocity reserve

    Correlation of coronary flow velocity reserve change of the collateral donor vessel (after PCI as compared to values before PCI) with viability measured by the percentage of viable myocardium on Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) of myocardial perfusion.

    Measured: six months

  2. Wall Motion Score Index (WMSI)

    Relation of coronary flow velocity reserve change with wall motion score index on stres-echocardyography test where the wall motion segment abnormalities will be graded as such: 1 - normokinesis, 2 - hypokinesis, 3- akinesis and 4 dyskinesis, and the higher values indicates worse outcome

    Measured: six months

  3. Change from Baseline Stable Angina questionnaire (SAQ) at 6 months

    Relation of coronary flow velocity reserve change with the quality of life measured by 19-item Seattle Angina Questionnaire that assesses angina frequency (with 9 questions where answers range from 1 to 6, the total score ranges from 0 to 100, where the higher value indicates better outcome), angina stability ( with 1 question where answers range from 1 to 6, the total score ranges from 0 to 100, where the higher value indicates better outcome), the angina frequency scale (with 2 questions where answers range from 1 to 5, the total score ranges from 0 to 100, where the higher value indicates better outcome), treatment satisfaction (with 4 questions where answers range from 1 to 6, the total score ranges from 0 to 100, where the higher value indicates better outcome), and disease perception/QoL (with 3 questions where answers range from 1 to 5, the total score ranges from 0 to 100, where the higher value indicates better outcome)

    Measured: six months

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 25 Sep 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 Serbia. 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?

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?

Coronary flow reserve (time frame: six 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 NCT04060615, which also lists 42 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 25 Sep 2019.
