About this study

A single center, prospective, observational study to compare fractional flow reserve (FFR) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) optimization strategies on the functional PCI result (assessed with FFR) immediately post PCI and at 9-12 months after the treatment of long coronary artery lesions.

Being tested
IVUS guided PCI optimization, FFR guided PCI optimization, FFR measurement
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • IVUS guided PCI optimizationProcedure or surgery

    PCI to long lesion will be optimized according to the IVUS.

  • FFR guided PCI optimizationProcedure or surgery

    PCI to long lesion will be optimized according to the FFR.

  • FFR measurementDiagnostic test

    Fractional flow reserve protocol will be applied for both FFR-guided and IVUS-guided PCI groups. FFR will be measured according to the standard practice using intravenous adenosine. FFR will be recorded before PCI at the distal third of the coronary artery and after PCI at the same location. In FFR optimization group more than one post PCI FFR measurements could be acquired if the operators performed additional optimization. In IVUS optimization group only one post PCI FFR measurement will be recorded after which the procedure will be considered to be finished, and no further interventions will be undertaken. The same FFR measurements will be performed at 9-12 months follow-up.

Study groups in NCT05732324
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IVUS PCI optimization groupPCI will be optimized according to the IVUS. IVUS will be performed before PCI and will be used to select PCI strategy. Operators will try to reach an optimal anatomical PCI result as assessed by IVUS aiming for the following criteria: 1. good stent apposition; 2. good stent expansion (minimal stent area (MSA) >90% of distal reference lumen area and/or MSA ≥5.5mm2); 3. plaque burden 5mm proximal and distal to the stent <50%); 4. no stent edge dissection. After stent optimization an IVUS run will be performed. The IVUS run will be considered as final when further anatomical optimization will not be thought to be possible.
Receives: Procedure: IVUS guided PCI optimization; Diagnostic Test: FFR measurement
Historical FFR PCI optimization groupThe goal will be to achieve the optimal functional result, defined as an FFR post PCI ≥ 0.95. Further stented segment post-dilatation will be mandatory if FFR post PCI < 0.95. In case of a clear evidence of significant atheroma proximal or distal to the stented segment, the operators will be encouraged to optimize the functional result further by implanting additional stents.
Receives: Procedure: FFR guided PCI optimization; Diagnostic Test: FFR measurement

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of optimal functional PCI result

    Post PCI FFR value < 0.9

    Measured: One year

  2. The rate of poor functional PCI result

    Post PCI FFR value ≤ 0.8

    Measured: One year

  3. The rate of optimal anatomical PCI result

    If all the four following IVUS criteria met: (1) good stent apposition; (2) good stent expansion (minimal stent area (MSA) >90% of distal reference lumen area and/or MSA ≥5.5mm2); (3) plaque burden 5mm proximal and distal to the stent <50%); (4) no stent edge dissection.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The rate of target vessel failure (TVF)

    Composite endpoint (target vessel related death (TV-death), target vessel related myocardial infarction (TV-MI), any target vessel revascularization (TV-R))

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Ischemia, run by Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos.

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 5 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 22 Feb 2023. 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?

The rate of optimal functional PCI result (time frame: One year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Feb 2023.
