About this study
Official title: Intravascular Ultrasound Versus Angiography Guided Drug-eluting Stent Implantation for Patients With Coronary Severe Calcification: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial
Coronary calcified lesion is associated with a poor clinical outcome. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides anatomic information in detail about reference vessel dimensions and lesion characteristics including severity of diameter stenosis, lesion length, and morphology. Both randomized and observational studies have reported the clinical benefits of IVUS guidance for patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO), long lesions, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with complex bifurcation lesions. Our previous ULTIMATE trial has demonstrated that IVUS-guided drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation significantly improved clinical outcome in all-comers, particularly for patients who had an IVUS-defined optimal procedure, compared with angiography guidance. However, the benefit of IVUS guidance in coronary severe calcification still remains unknown in the modern DES era.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intravascular ultrasoundProcedure or surgery
Pretreatment strategy, stent size, stent landing zone and post-dilation balloon size are depended on intravascular ultrasound.
AngiographyProcedure or surgery
Pretreatment strategy, stent size, stent landing zone and post-dilation balloon size are depended on angiography.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intravascular ultrasound guidance | Experimental | Not described Receives: Procedure: Intravascular ultrasound |
