Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A number of 1448 patients scheduled for elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a native coronary stenosis suitable for DES implantation and IVUS imaging are openly randomized 1:1 to either IVUS guidance or angiographic guidance groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is prospectively conducted at 8 high-volume PCI centers in China with IVUS expertise. Clinic follow-up are planned in all patients 12 months after implantation of drug eluting stents. Primary endpoint is target vessel failure. The study is powered for primary endpoint, which are likely to reach significance at the level P \< 0.05 even at a follow-up drop-out rate up to 10%.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

IVUS guided DES implantation

Stent size and length were selected by online IVUS measurements, and adjunct high-pressure dilation was performed according to the discretion of operators based on the IVUS criteria for stent optimization.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

IVUS

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The size and number of stents and post-dilation will be determined on physician's discrete within the range allowed in this study protocol. All procedure will be performed according to current standard technique. IVUS will be used to assess the anatomic characteristics of lesion and determine appropriate stent size and length. Additional stent implantation or post dilation will be allowed according to attending physician's discrete based on IVUS results.

DES implantation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Angiography guided DES implantation

Stent size and length were chosen by visual estimation, and adjunct high-pressure dilation was performed if an optimal result was not achieved, which was defined as angiographic residual diameter stenosis 20% and absence of angiographically detected dissection.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Angiography

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The size and number of stents and post-dilation will be determined on physician's discrete within the range allowed in this study protocol. All procedure will be performed according to current standard technique. Additional stent implantation or post dilation will be allowed according to attending physician's discrete. IVUS will be not used in this arm.
