Randomised comparison of Culotte technique versus "Double Kissing" - Crush technique (DK-Crush) for the percutaneous treatment of de novo non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions with modern everolimus-eluting stents (DES) - German multicenter study

Detailed Description

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

Aim of study This prospective randomized multicenter study will compare the long-term safety and efficacy of Culotte stenting versus "Double Kissing" - Crush (DK-Crush) stenting in the treatment of the de-novo non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions with new generation everolimus-eluting stents.

Study hypothesis In large coronary bifurcation lesions (main vessel \> 2.5mm, side branch \> 2.25mm) including significant ostial side branch disease, Culotte stenting compared with DKcrush stenting reduces maximal percent diameter stenosis at the bifurcation at 9-month follow-up by 25 %.

Study design Prospective, randomized, German multicenter study.

Methods Four-hundred patients, in whom a double-stenting technique is intended for the treatment of a non-left main de-novo coronary bifurcation lesion will be randomly assigned to Culotte stenting or to DK-crush stenting with an approved drug-eluting stent (SYNERGY-Stent). As a part of usual care, patients will undergo 9-month angiographic follow-up with quantitative coronary angiography. Clinical follow-up is planned at 1 year if no angiographic follow-up is obtained.

Study Groups

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

Culotte Technique

Both vessels have to be wired. Lesion preparation in the main vessel and side branch may be undertaken according to operator preference. After lesion preparation, the side branch has to be stented first. The first stent is placed from main branch into the side branch, covering the entire diseased segment with a wire jailed in the main vessel. The main vessel is rewired through the stent struts, and after removal of the jailed wire, is dilated with a balloon to separate stent struts. The side branch wire is then removed and the main vessel is stented covering the proximal and distal segment. The side-branch is re-wired and high pressure individual inflations are made in each vessel at the bifurcation point to ensure good stent strut separation. Afterwards, a lower pressure kissing inflation is made. Balloon sizing should be in accordance with the diameter of the vessel itself. Finally, a proximal optimization (POT) procedure is performed.

DK-Crush Technique

Both vessels have to be wired first. Lesion preparation in the main vessel and side branch may be undertaken according to operator preference (rotablation, if needed).

After lesion preparation, the side branch is stented first. Side branch stent should have a small protrusion into the main branch. Before stent implantation in the side branch, an adequately sized balloon should be placed in the main branch, just opposite to the side branch ostium. After stent implantation in the side branch, stent balloon and wire are removed and the balloon in the main branch must be inflated, to crush the struts into the vessel wall. In next step, the new wire should be crossed into the ostium of the side branch and first kissing balloon dilatation will follow. The next step is to implant the second stent into the main branch, followed by second re-wiring, a second kissing balloon-dilatation and final proximal optimization (POT) procedure (single short balloon inflation in proximal segment).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Clinical indication, evidenced by angina / angina-equivalent symptoms or documented ischemia (non-invasive imaging such as scintigraphy, stress-MRI or stress-echo; FFR or iwFR) or patients with acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS).
2. Clinical indication to perform double stenting only with Synergy™ stents for a clinically significant bifurcation stenosis as judged by the operator.
3. De-novo non-Ieft main coronary bifurcation lesions - 1,1,1 or 0,1,1 according to the Medina classification - of a native coronary artery with the following reference vessel diameters: main branch \> 2,5 mm; side branch \> 2,25 mm. The difference between vessel diameter of the main and side branch is ≤ 1 mm.
4. The target lesion has not been previously treated with any interventional procedure.
5. The target vessel (main branch and side branch) must appear feasible for stent implantation.
6. Patient has no other coronary intervention planned within 30 days of the procedure.
7. Patient has been informed of the nature of the study and agrees to its provisions and has written informed consent as approved by the Ethics Committee.
8. Patient is willing to comply with all required post-procedure follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patient had an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 72 h preceding the index procedure or target vessel contains intraluminal thrombus.
2. Use of any other coronary stent than Synergy™ and Synergy Megatron™ except for baiI-out situations.
3. Patient with a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to the needed antithrombotic therapy, stent type or contrast media that cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
4. Non successful treatment of other lesion during the same procedure.
5. Patient with a severe bleeding diathesis, history of recent major bleeding or stroke (≤ 6 months), coagulopathy or severe liver disease.
6. Patient has a co-morbidity (i.e. cancer) that may cause the patient to be noncompliant with the protocol, or is associated with limited life-expectancy (Iess than 1 year).
7. Patient is participating in any other clinical study with an investigational product.
8. Patient is known to be pregnant or lactating at time of inclusion.
