In the Management of Coronary Artery Disease, Does Routine Pressure Wire Assessment at the Time of Coronary Angiography Affect Management Strategy, Hospital Costs and Outcomes?

Not Applicable
Conditions
Chest Pain
Non ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
Stable Angina
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Registration Number
NCT02892903
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

A randomised controlled trial to compare two strategies for the investigation of coronary artery disease at the time of angiography. Patients will be randomised to conventional angiography or additional, routine pressure wire assessment - measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) - in all main vessels judged as being of sufficient vessel calibre to allow percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (experimental arm).

Detailed Description

The study will recruit patients undergoing angiography for the investigation of stable angina or for the assessment of a recent, but stabilised, non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome event. Eligible patients who provide written informed consent will be randomised to conventional angiography or additional, routine pressure wire assessment - measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) - in all main vessels judged as being of sufficient vessel calibre to allow percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (experimental arm). The study pragmatic design allows investigators to conduct all diagnostic and therapeutic management in accordance with prevailing best practice patterns. Study outcome measures will examine resource utilisation, patient reported quality of life and clinical events at 1 year.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Economic Outcome MeasureOne year

Resource utilisation as determined by hospital care costs at one year; All hospital admissions will be tracked using national hospital episode statistics; the cost of each episode will be derived from a cost model using standard UK tariffs. This analysis will compare the mean (or median) of the total hospital costs recorded for each patient over the 12 month follow-up period.

Primary Quality of Life Outcome MeasureOne year

Patient reported quality of life at one year using the EQ-5D health questionnaire.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total hospital daysOne year
Management strategy informationReported once: Single declaration at index procedure after randomisation

· Proportion of patients scheduled for management with medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in the declared initial management strategy.

Angina symptomsOne year

• Angina symptoms as reported by the patient with private completion of a screening form at 12 months, described by Canadian Cardiovascular Society Grade.

All-cause mortalityOne year
Number of hospitalisation eventsOne year
Hospitalisation eventsOne year

Hospitalisation events coded as Coronary revascularisation. This analysis will involve a pre-specified subgroup analysis of:

* Planned revascularisation - if declared as the index strategy.

* All additional revascularisation events.
