Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the treatment of Chronic total occlusion (CTO) disease. Whether Intravascular Ultrasonography (IVUS) guiding the implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) will provide better long-term clinical outcomes compared with conventional angiography

Detailed Description

The study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, two-arm, 1:1 randomized controlled, well-designed clinical study.

According to the sample size calculation, a total of 1448 patients with primary CTO lesions were required to participate in the study after the guide wire successfully passed through the lesion (defined as: angiographic indication that the guide wire successfully passed through the CTO lesion and reached the distal true lumen).

The study will be conducted at no more than 45research centers. With competitive enrolment, a maximum of 500 patients can be enrolled at each center or until the study is completed, whichever comes first.

It is recommended that each center enroll at least 20 patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major adverse cardiac eventsThe study design was event-driven. When a predetermined number of primary endpoints (number of MACE events = 291) occurs (expected 3 years), the study termination procedure will be initiated and this data will be used for primary end point analysis.

All causes of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis (ARC clear/probable), and clinically driven target vessel revascularization

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Left ventricular function improvedBaseline period and one-year follow-up period

Left ventricular ejection fraction at 1 year and changes from baseline to 1 year

Percentage stenosis of segmental and stent diameterThe follow-up period was 12 months

Anangiographic percentage of insegment and instent diameter stenosis measured by QCA at 12 months postoperatively

Clinical success rateBaseline operative period

Clinical success was defined by visual evaluation of mean lesion diameter stenosis by the physician on 2 near-orthogonal projection angiography with TIMI blood flow grade 3.

No nosocomial myocardial infarction, TVR or cardiac death occurred in 30% of patients

Cardiogenic death30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery

This includes acute myocardial infarction, cardiac perforation/tamponade, arrhythmia or conduction abnormalities, cerebrovascular accidents at discharge or suspected operating-related cerebrovascular accidents, death from surgical complications, including hemorrhage, vascular repair, transfusion reaction, or bypass surgery, or any death of cardiac origin that cannot be ruled out.

Binary restenosis rate in segment and stentThe follow-up period was 12 months

Binary restenosis refers to the previously treated stenosis diameter at the lesion site \> 50%, including the original treatment area and proximal and distal areas adjacent to the QCA analysis segment

Minimum lumen diameters in segments and stentsThe follow-up period was 12 months

Minimum lumen diameters in segmental vessels and stents as measured by QCA 12 months postoperatively

Nonfatal myocardial infarction30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery

Nonfatal myocardial infarction

Target vessel revascularization30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery

Target vessel revascularization is defined as repeated intervention in the vessel where the target lesion is located in reference to target lesion revascularization

Target vessel failure30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery

Target vessel failure refers to target vessel revascularization, target-related MI (Q wave and non-Q wave), or target-related (cardiac) death resulting from ischemia

QCA measurements were obtained immediately in the lumenBaseline operative period

Immediate luminal measurements of QCA during surgery were obtained

Target lesion failure30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery

Target lesion failure refers to target lesion revascularization, target vascular-related MI (Q wave and non-Q wave) or (cardiac) death due to ischemia

Target lesion revascularization30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery

Target lesion revascularization is any ischemia-driven repetitive percutaneous coronary intervention to improve blood flow to a successfully treated target lesion or to bypass the target vessel and use a graft distally to the successfully treated target lesion.

If the target lesion diameter is ≥50% stenosis as assessed by QCA and there is clinical or functional ischemia that cannot be explained by other coronary or graft lesions, vascularization will be considered to be induced by ischemia.

MLD measured by QCABaseline operative period

MLD measured by QCA during surgery

Lumens in segmental vessels and stents were lostThe follow-up period was 12 months

12 months postoperatively, angiographic measurements of intrasegmental and in-stent lumens by QCA were lost
