About this trial
To compare the safety and efficacy of preoperative versus postoperative revascularization strategies in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing time-sensitive non-cardiac surgery.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years
Diagnosis of coronary heart disease with non-emergent indication for PCI confirmed by coronary angiography:
Non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) at low or intermediate ischemic risk
Moderate or severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery
Disqualifiers
Age >80 years
Severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50×10⁹/L)
Cardiogenic shock, severe heart failure (NYHA class IV, Killip class IV, or LVEF ≤35%), malignant arrhythmias (including cardiac arrest, asystole, ventricular fibrillation, or sustained ventricular tachycardia), or other life-threatening conditions requiring resuscitation
Moderate-to-severe valvular heart disease, high-grade atrioventricular block, or other severe cardiac/pulmonary dysfunction incompatible with the planned surgery
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Non-cardiac surgery followed by postoperative PCI
Procedure/SurgeryPatients undergo the planned time-sensitive non-cardiac surgery first in a hybrid operating room, with PCI standby available in case of an intraoperative acute coronary event. If such an event occurs, immediate PCI will be performed. Additional PCI will be performed postoperatively if clinically indicated.
Preoperative PCI followed by delayed non-cardiac surgery ~3 months later
Procedure/SurgeryPatients undergo PCI first. The planned non-cardiac surgery will then be performed approximately 3 months after PCI, in accordance with current guideline recommendations for the timing of non-cardiac surgery following PCI.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)
Composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization
Secondary outcomes
Major Bleeding
Major bleeding defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding.
All-Cause Mortality
Death from any cause within 180 days after the first invasive procedure (non-cardiac surgery or PCI)
Myocardial Infarction
Incidence of myocardial infarction defined according to the Fourth Universal Definition
Repeat Coronary Revascularization
Need for repeat PCI of target or non-target coronary arteries
