About this study
This is prospective cohort study in subjects with a planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of their chronic total occlusion (CTO). The study will enroll subjects who have been scheduled for a clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization, and will evaluate coronary microvascular function in all subjects meeting inclusion criteria with a coronary flow wire. Evaluation of coronary microvascular function may be performed using indirect methods, however the rationale behind the present study is to directly measure microvascular function using direct coronary flow measurements, since the subjects in the study are to undergo a clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization. The overall purpose of the study is to define the presence and severity of coronary microvascular dysfunction subjects with CTO. The study is designed to enroll 50 subjects with CTO in the span of 3 years. There will be a 6-month assessment of the outcomes of death and cardiovascular death. As the study includes FDA approved tests, there will be no safety endpoint per se, however there will be a mechanism for monitoring adverse events as will be described in detail.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Baseline myocardial quality of the CTO-supplied vascular bed.
Characterize the microvascular resistance of the donor vessel to 50 CTOs as it relates to vascular bed quality of the CTO-supplied territory. Scaled from 0-102, with 102 being worse than 0.
- Baseline myocardial quality
Measured: Day of procedure
IMR of opened CTO vessel
Following CTO PCI, IMR of the opened vessel will be measured. Scale is linear and 1-100 units, higher numbers being worse outcome.
- Change in SAQ from baseline to 6 months
Measured: 6 months
Change in exercise time on Bruce protocol baseline
Change in exercise time from baseline to 6 months post-PCI will be measured. Scale is linear and measured in seconds (can be a negative number), with higher numbers indicating a favorable outcome.
Measured: 6 months
Change in SAQ from baseline to 6 months
Change in Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) from baseline to 6 months post-PCI will be measured. Scale is linear and 0-100 units, with higher numbers indicating a favorable outcome.
Measured: 6 months

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2023. 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.
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?
Baseline myocardial quality of the CTO-supplied vascular bed. (time frame: Day of procedure). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04226326, which also lists 10 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.
