Comparison of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Optimization With Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Intravascular Ultrasound in the Treatment of Long Coronary Artery Lesions

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Myocardial Ischemia
Myocardial Infarction
Registration Number
NCT05732324
Lead Sponsor
Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos
Brief Summary

A single center, prospective, observational study to compare fractional flow reserve (FFR) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) optimization strategies on the functional PCI result (assessed with FFR) immediately post PCI and at 9-12 months after the treatment of long coronary artery lesions.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Chronic coronary syndrome (stable angina; staged PCI to other lesions after acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation);
  • Acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation (unstable angina or myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation);
  • Functionally significant (FFR ≤ 0.8) lesion requiring a stent length of ≥ 30 mm and amenable for percutaneous coronary intervention.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient's age ≤ 18 years;
  • Acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation;
  • Treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy contraindicated;
  • Survival expectancy ≤ 1 year;
  • Known allergy to sirolimus, everolimus or zotarolimus.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The rate of optimal functional PCI resultOne year

Post PCI FFR value \< 0.9

The rate of poor functional PCI resultOne year

Post PCI FFR value ≤ 0.8

The rate of optimal anatomical PCI result1 day

If all the four following IVUS criteria met: (1) good stent apposition; (2) good stent expansion (minimal stent area (MSA) \>90% of distal reference lumen area and/or MSA ≥5.5mm2); (3) plaque burden 5mm proximal and distal to the stent \<50%); (4) no stent edge dissection.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Composite endpoint (target vessel related death (TV-death), target vessel related myocardial infarction (TV-MI), any target vessel revascularization (TV-R))
