- Registration Number
- NCT03977129
- Lead Sponsor
- Ruijin Hospital
- Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled clinical study in patients with planned primary valvular surgery and comorbid coronary artery lesions with diameter stenosis of ≥ 50%, to compare the effectiveness of an Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR)-guided revascularization strategy and a coronary angiography (CAG)-guided revascularization strategy in preventing the incidence of composite outcome (MACE-5, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, unplanned coronary revascularization, and new renal failure requiring dialysis) within 30 days after surgery. The study hypothesis is that the QFR-guided strategy can reduce the incidence of the MACE-5 within 30 days after surgery, as compared with the CAG-guided strategy.
- Detailed Description
It is planned to enroll 792 subjects aged ≥18 years, with no gender restriction, who plan to undergo elective open-heart valvular surgery due to primary valvular heart disease, with comorbid coronary artery lesions defined as diameter stenosis of ≥ 50% (visual estimation) that are diagnosed by CAG before the surgery.
QFR group: Calculate the QFR values of all target coronary arteries (anterior descending branch, circumflex branch, main right coronary artery or its primary branches with ≥ 1.5 mm in diameter, such as diagonal branch, intermediate branch, obtuse marginal branch, posterior descending branch and posterior branch of left ventricle) with lesions with diameter stenosis of ≥ 50% (visual estimation) suited for CABG revascularization. If QFR ≤ 0.80, then simultaneous CABG revascularization of target blood vessels will be carried out. If QFR \> 0.80, then no CABG revascularization of target blood vessels will be carried out.
CAG group (control group): All target coronary arteries (anterior descending branch, circumflex branch, main right coronary artery or its primary branches with ≥ 1.5 mm in diameter, such as diagonal branch, intermediate branch, obtuse marginal branch, posterior descending branch and posterior branch of left ventricle) with lesions with diameter stenosis of ≥ 50% (visual estimation) suited for CABG revascularization will undergo simultaneous CABG revascularization.
Intervention duration: The assessments will be performed after randomization and before the surgery to guide the surgery.
No planned interim analysis.
