The Implementation of Intravascular Ultrasound and Fractional Flow Reserve in the Percutaneous Treatment of Very Long Coronary Artery Lesions

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT05621421
Lead Sponsor
Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos
Brief Summary

A single center, prospective, observational study to investigate the impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) on the functional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) result (assessed with fractional flow reserve (FFR)) and one-year target vessel failure (TVF) rate after percutaneous treatment of long coronary artery lesions

Inclusion Criteria
  • Chronic coronary syndrome (stable angina; staged PCI to other lesions after acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation);
  • Acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation (unstable angina or myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation);
  • Functionally significant (FFR ≤ 0.8) lesion requiring a stent length of ≥ 30 mm and amenable for percutaneous coronary intervention.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient's age ≤ 18 years;
  • Acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation;
  • Treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy contraindicated;
  • Survival expectancy ≤ 1 year;
  • Known allergy to sirolimus, everolimus or zotarolimus.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of patients with optimal anatomy result1 day

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.

The proportion of patients with optimal physiology result1 day

Post PCI FFR value ≥ 0.9

The proportion of patients with optimal physiology and anatomy result1 day

Post PCI FFR value ≥ 0.9 and all four IVUS criteria met

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The rate of target vessel failure (TVF)12 months post PCI follow up

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