Drug-coating Balloon Angioplasties for True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
- Conditions
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Interventions
- Device: Drug-coating balloon
- Registration Number
- NCT04242134
- Brief Summary
This study is designed to investigate whether drug-coated balloon (DCB) compared to conventional balloon angioplasty for side branch after provisional stenting will lead to lower rates of the composite endpoint of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) at 12 months. The individual components of MACE include cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR). True bifurcation lesions were defined according to Medina classification.
- Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized-controlled, single blind, superiority trial that will include 25 international sites. The investigators aim to enroll 784 subjects with true coronary bifurcation lesions in native coronary arterial segments.
All patients with true coronary bifurcation lesions suitable for angioplasty will undergo 1:1 randomization either to PS (provisional stenting)-DCB or PS-NCB (noncompliant balloon) group using a randomization schedule blocked by site.
All subjects will be screened according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria per protocol and will further undergo angiography after successful stenting of the main vessel with ostium side branch visually estimated stenosis ≥70%. Data and images will be collected during the index procedure, during re-intervention in the case of clinically driven revascularization, and at the predefined 12-month clinical follow-up visit. All subjects will also undergo angiographic follow-up at 13 months.

Group Intervention Description PS-DCB Drug-coating balloon For PS-DCB group 1. NC balloon dilating ostial side branch (SB) (1:1 ratio). 2. DCB dilating SB. Specifically, the DCB, which had to be 2-3 mm longer on each side than the predilatation balloon, was inflated at nominal pressure for 30\~ 60 s. The ratio of the DCB diameter to the nominal diameter of the SB was recommended to be between 0.8 and 1.0. DCB should be delivered to the lesion within 2 min after entering human body. 3. Kissing inflation using 2 noncomplian balloons. 4. Stenting side branch with T and protrusion (TAP) technique if any of the following issues was observed after kissing balloon inflation: \>type C dissection or thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow \<3. 5. Final kissing inflation and proximal optimal technique (POT). PS-NCB Drug-coating balloon For PS-NCB group 1. NC balloon dilating ostial SB (1:1 ratio). 2. Kissing inflation using 2 NC balloons. 3. Stenting side branch with TAP technique if any of the following issues was observed after kissing balloon inflation: \>type C dissection or thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow \<3. 4. Final kissing inflation and proximal optimal technique (POT).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of major adverse cardiac event 12 months after angioplasty MACE defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically driven TLR.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of clinically-driven TLR or TVR 12 months after angioplasty Clinically driven revascularization includes repeat PCI or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for recurrent or persistent symptomatic ischemia and can be defined according to the relationship to the index PCI (target lesion).
Rate of periprocedural MI, Spontaneous MI, or target vessel MI 12 months after angioplasty According to the DCB-BIF trial definition.
Rate of thrombosis 12 months after angioplasty The safety endpoint was stent thrombosis (ST), according to the definition by Academic Research Consortium.
Rate of all-cause death or cardiac death 12 months after angioplasty In general, all deaths are considered cardiac unless an alternate cause is unequivocally established, even among subjects with serious noncardiac comorbidities.
