Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) Versus Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in Intermediate Coronary Artery Disease

Phase 4
Terminated
Conditions
Coronary Artery Stenosis
Interventions
Device: Grey scale intravascular ultrasound (Galaxy or Virtual histology-Intravascular Ultrasound)
Device: Pressure wire(Radi Medical Systems)
Registration Number
NCT01175863
Lead Sponsor
Ajou University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, open label trial to compare the clinical outcomes and effectiveness of Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) versus Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) guided Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with intermediate coronary artery lesion.

Detailed Description

This trial is a prospective, randomized, open label, two arm designed multi-center trial. When diagnostic coronary angiogram shows that the target lesion is intermediate stenosis, IVUS and/or FFR will be performed in order to decide PCI or defer by 1:1 randomization. The patients would be followed up to 2 years clinically.
