Trial summary

Percutaneous treatment of bifurcation lesion is a complex procedure. After main vessel stent implantation, the side branch became jailed and the carina can be displaced resulting in complete occlusion of this vessel. Re-wiring the side branch in this conditions may result difficult and some times impossible. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predilation of Side Branch During Percutaneous Treatment of Bifurcation Lesions With Provisional T Stenting.

Percutaneous treatment of bifurcation lesion is a complex procedure. After main vessel stent implantation, the side branch became jailed and the carina can be displaced resulting in complete occlusion of this vessel. Re-wiring the side branch in this conditions may result difficult and some times impossible. There is no agreement regarding the need of side branch pre-dilation (before main vessel stent implantation) to reduce these complications. Researchers from European Bifurcation Club have proposed no to pre-dilate the side branch to avoid vessel dissection and difficulties in rewiring the true lumen of the vessel. On the contrary, our group has a good experience in the treatment of bifurcation lesions treated with side branch pre-dilation.

Aims: 1.- To determine the efficacy of the side-branch pre-dilation in patients with bifurcations lesions treated with provisional T stenting. 2.- To determine the success rate and incidence of complications in patients with and without side-branch pre-dilation, as well as economic impact in terms of number of used wires.

Introduction: Percutaneous treatment of bifurcation lesion is a complex procedure. After main vessel stent implantation, the side branch became jailed and the carina can be displaced resulting in complete occlusion of this vessel. Re-wiring the side branch in this conditions may result difficult and some times impossible. There is no agreement regarding the need of side branch pre-dilation (before main vessel stent implantation) to reduce these complications. Researchers from European Bifurcation Club have proposed no to pre-dilate the side branch to avoid vessel dissection and difficulties in rewiring the true lumen of the vessel. On the contrary, our group has a good experience in the treatment of bifurcation lesions treated with side branch pre-dilation.

Aims: 1.- To determine the efficacy of the side-branch pre-dilation in patients with bifurcations lesions treated with provisional T stenting. 2.- To determine the success rate and incidence of complications in patients with and without side-branch pre-dilation, as well as economic impact in terms of number of used wires.

Design: Prospective and randomized study. Patients and methods: The series is constituted by 420 patients with bifurcations lesions that will be treated with drug-eluting stents; 210 patients will be treated with side branch pre-dilation before main vessels stent implantation, while the remaining 210 patients will be randomized to no pre-dilation of the side-branch.

Primary end point:

  • TIMI flow at Side Branch after main vessel stent implantation.

Secondary end points:

  • Time of re-wiring.
  • Number of used wires.
  • % of stenosis at Side Branch.
  • Levels of CK and TpI after the procedure.
  • Related cardiac events at 9 months. Relevance: Currently there has been controversy over the use of the side branch pre-dilation in patients with bifurcations lesions treated with provisional T-stenting. However, we have no comparative study in the literature.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pre-dilation side branch in people with Coronary Angiography, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza Progreso y Salud at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Side branch coronary flow after main vessels stent implantation (time frame: Immediately after catheterization procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01090856, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2014.
