Trial summary

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with adjunctive high speed rotational atherectomy (HSRA) is commonly used to treat complex and calcified coronary artery stenoses. Theoretically, HSRA may have deleterious effects on the coronary microcirculation and result in peri-procedural myocardial infarction (Type 4a MI). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: MRI Before and After Coronary Angioplasty With Rotational Atherectomy

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with adjunctive high speed rotational atherectomy (HSRA) is commonly used to treat complex and calcified coronary artery stenoses. Theoretically, HSRA may have deleterious effects on the coronary microcirculation and result in peri-procedural myocardial infarction (Type 4a MI).

This study is assessing the effects of HSRA PCI using serial multi-parametric stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) (1.5 Tesla MAGNETOM Avanto, Siemens Healthcare). The study will prospectively enrol up to 75 patients (minimum completed cohort of 50 patients) undergoing elective HSRA PCI and performing multi-parametric CMR at 3 time-points: before HSRA, 1 week post-HSRA, and 6 months post-HSRA. Myocardial perfusion will be assessed using pharmacological stress with intravenous adenosine (140 micrograms/kg/min) at each time point. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hsTn) and ECGs will be performed post-HSRA.

Read the detailed description

High Speed Rotational atherectomy (HSRA) is a technique used during angioplasty in the treatment of calcified coronary arteries. Rotablation debulks resistant calcium in the coronary artery plaque thus facilitating stent deployment and expansion. The atherectomy technique involves a rotating diamond-tipped burr which breaks down the calcium into small particles which are washed forward by the blood flow into the smaller coronary branches supplying the heart muscle. The dispersed calcium particles may block these smaller blood vessels, interrupting blood flow to an extent that may result in heart muscle damage. When this injury becomes detectable clinically, with symptoms, ECG changes and increased troponin, an iatrogenic type IV myocardial infarction (MI) is diagnosed.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold standard method for imaging the heart providing detailed information on cardiac function and muscle injury.

This is a prospective cohort observational study of 60 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty with rotational atherectomy.

The aim of the study is to investigate myocardial injury revealed by paired CMR scans before and after rotational atherectomy.

The hypothesis is that following rotational atherectomy, displacement of calcified particles cause microvascular obstruction leading to reduced perfusion. Since myocardial perfusion and pump function are linked, as myocardial perfusion is reduced after atherectomy, so myocardial contractility (i.e. strain) will reduce. In a second analysis, computer modelling will be used to integrate the different types of CMR information to better understand the spatial, temporal and pathological evolution of myocardial infarction (www.softmech.org). The further hypothesis is that despite CMR detectable infarction the incidence of clinical type IV MI will be low.

CMR scans will be performed 1 week before, 1 week and 6 months post rotablation. Cardiac troponin and ECGs will be performed post rotablation to determine the incidence of type IV MI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by NHS National Waiting Times Centre Board.

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 6 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 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Change in circumferential myocardial strain (time frame: 1 week and 6 months post-rotablation). 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 5 Aug 2016.
