Trial summary

In patients with unprotected left main disease (ULMD), angioplasty is emerging as an alternative technique. The investigators aimed to determine the rate of major cardiovascular events in patients treated by angioplasty for ULMD in a "real world" registry. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Registry in Patients With Unprotected Left Main Disease Treated by Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The ALMA (Angioplasty of Left Main - lAriboisiere) Registry

In patients with unprotected left main disease (ULMD), angioplasty is emerging as an alternative technique. The investigators aimed to determine the rate of major cardiovascular events in patients treated by angioplasty for ULMD in a "real world" registry.

Read the detailed description

Current guidelines recommend coronary artery bypass graft surgery as the "gold standard" treatment in patients with unprotected left main disease. However, patients with ULMD and high surgical risk score or favourable anatomy are still referred for angioplasty. Recently, several studies and registries comparing surgery and percutaneous intervention with drug eluting stents report similar results regarding cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease including unprotected left main disease.

The aim of the study is to evaluate major cardiovascular events in a "real world" registry.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Major cardiovascular events (MACCE)

    Major cardiovascular events (MACCE)were measured after 1 year follow-up. MACCE included all-cause of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularizations. Non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was defined using universal definition with troponin I. Stent thrombosis was defined according to the Academic Research Consortium definition as definite, probable, or possible and as early or late after the index procedure. Repeat revascularization was composed of any repeat percutaneous intervention or surgical bypass.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Hopital Lariboisière at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 14 Jan 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 France. 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.

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?

Major cardiovascular events (MACCE) (time frame: One year). 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 14 Jan 2014.
