About this study

Official title: Impact of Rotational Atherectomy on Coronary Microvascular Function in Patients With Stable Angina and Calcified Coronary Artery Disease

The purpose of this observational study is to compare the impact of rotational atherectomy to conventional stenting and to investigate how it may affect coronary microcirculation in patients with calcified coronary artery lesions and stable CAD.

The study's objectives are to:

Read more
  • investigate the impact of rotational atherectomy on the prevalence of post-percutaneuos coronary intervention coronay microvascular dysfunction;
  • investigate the impact of conventional stenting on the prevalence of post-percutaneuos coronary intervention coronay microvascular dysfunction; and
  • compare the impact of both percutaneuos coronary interventions on coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Patients with calcified lesions will be enrolled prospectively and will have serial invasive and non-invasive microvascular testing prior to and after rotational atherectomy or conventional stenting.

Read the detailed description

Rotational atherectomy (RA) is a medical procedure used to treat patients with severe atherosclerosis, a condition that causes plaque buildup within the artery walls, resulting in narrowing of the blood vessels and decreased blood flow to the heart. RA is a technique that involves breaking up and removing plaque from the artery with a small, high-speed rotating burr.

However, RA is not without risks. One of the major risks associated with RA is the potential damage to the artery wall and surrounding tissue. This can lead to complications such as bleeding, blood clots, or injury to the heart or other organs. Additionally, the high-speed rotation of the burr can generate heat, which may damage the artery wall or cause the release of harmful particles into the bloodstream.

Another hypothesized risk of RA is its impact on microcirculation, which refers to the smallest blood vessels in the body. RA can cause disruption to these vessels, leading to a decrease in blood flow and potentially causing damage to tissues and organs that depend on them.

The purpose of this study is to look into the effect of rotational atherectomy on coronary microcirculation.

What participants receive

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

  • coronary pressure/temperature sensor-tipped guidewireDiagnostic test

    In brief, a 6-F angioplasty guiding catheter without side-holes will be used first used to engage the left main coronary artery. A pressure-temperature sensor guidewire ( PressureWire™ X Guidewire) will be used for physiology measurements including IMR measurements.

    Pressure measurement from the wire will be first equalized with that of the guiding catheter. Then the pressure sensor will be positioned two-thirds of the way down the LAD artery. Intracoronary nitroglycerin will be administered (100 to 200 μg). Hyperemia will be induced with adenosine intracoronary injections.

  • Angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (IMRangio)Diagnostic test

    Angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (IMRangio) will be calculated by an anticipated software

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction

    Microcirculatory dysfunction will be defined as having an IMR value ≥ 25 U and a CFR value < 2.5 U or angio IMR ≥ 25 U

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate of Major adverse cardiovascular events

    composite of nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, heart failure, target vessel revascularization and cardiovascular death.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. The incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction

    Microcirculatory dysfunction will be defined as having an IMR value ≥ 25 U and a CFR value < 2.5 U or angio IMR ≥ 25 U

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Seattle Angina Questionnaire score

    Evaluates the severity of angina symptoms, physical limitations, and quality of life

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing coronary pressure/temperature sensor-tipped guidewire and Angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (IMRangio) in people with Stable Angina and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Lithuanian University of Health Sciences at 1 site in Lithuania.

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 12 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 13 Nov 2023. 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 Lithuania. 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?

Contact Ali Aldujeli (+37064874874, ali.aldujeli@kaunoklinikos.lt), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (time frame: 1 day). 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 13 Nov 2023.
