About this study

The specific aim of this proposal is to examine the impact of OCT and IVUS-guided management of patients with prior DES implantation who need major non-cardiac surgery and discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy on the perioperative (1 week prior to surgery until 30 days post surgery) incidence of major adverse cardiac events.

Read the detailed description

Patients who receive drug-eluting stents (DES) and subsequently require non-cardiac surgery have increased risk for perioperative stent thrombosis, especially when antiplatelet therapy discontinuation is required. Perioperative administration of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor may decrease the stent thrombosis risk, but it is cumbersome and carries high cost. Stents that have been endothelialized by optical coherence tomography (OCT) are likely to have low risk for perioperative stent thrombosis and therefore intensive management strategies, such as "bridging with a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor" would not be required. The current study will assess whether OCT utilization can help optimize the preoperative management of DES patients requiring major non-cardiac surgery.

The specific aim of this proposal is to examine the impact of OCT and IVUS-guided management of patients with prior DES implantation who need major non-cardiac surgery and discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy on the perioperative (1 week prior to surgery until 30 days post surgery) incidence of major adverse cardiac events.

The hypothesis is that OCT and IVUS-guided treatment will have low incidence (≤10%) of perioperative major adverse cardiac events.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Optical coherence tomographyDevice

    Also called invasive intracoronary imaging

    Optical coherence tomography will be performed to determine the stent strut coverage. Patients in whom >95% of stent struts are covered will not receive perioperative bridging with a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, whereas those with <95% stent strut coverage will receive perioperative bridging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Optical coherence tomography in people with Coronary Stent Occlusion, run by North Texas Veterans Healthcare System at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2011. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Major adverse cardiac events (time frame: 30-days post surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Dec 2011.
