About this trial

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

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

At least 18 years old

Subjects will understand the test requirements, treatment and surgery, and can provide written informed consent

Subjects with clinical symptoms of ischemic heart disease or evidence of myocardial ischemia associated with CTO target vessels and scheduled to undergo Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Subjects will receive percutaneous coronary intervention

Disqualifiers

Pregnant and lactating women

Severe coronary artery disease, not suitable for PCI

Patients with acute myocardial infarction less than 7 days

Long-term contraindications to DAPT (at least 1 year)

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • The guidewire successfully passed the CTO lesion

    Procedure/Surgery

    The successful passage of the guide wire through the CTO lesion was defined as: the guide wire successfully passed through the CTO lesion and reached the distal true lumen as confirmed by angiography. Aspirin load dose (300 mg), clopidogrel load dose (300 mg), or ticagrelor load dose (180 mg) is recommended for all subjects prior to stent implantation and is recommended to be taken at least 6 hours prior to surgery.

Treatment groups

1,448 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Intravascular ultrasound guidanceExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Angiographic guidanceActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Major adverse cardiac events

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

Time frame
The 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.

Secondary outcomes

1

Cardiogenic death

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.

Time frame
30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
2

Nonfatal myocardial infarction

Nonfatal myocardial infarction

Time frame
30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
3

Target lesion revascularization

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.

Time frame
30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
4

Target vessel revascularization

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

Time frame
30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
