Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the treatment of Chronic total occlusion (CTO) disease. Whether Intravascular Ultrasonography (IVUS) guiding the implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) will provide better long-term clinical outcomes compared with conventional angiography

Description:

The study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, two-arm, 1:1 randomized controlled, well-designed clinical study.

According to the sample size calculation, a total of 1448 patients with primary CTO lesions were required to participate in the study after the guide wire successfully passed through the lesion (defined as: angiographic indication that the guide wire successfully passed through the CTO lesion and reached the distal true lumen).

The study will be conducted at no more than 45research centers. With competitive enrolment, a maximum of 500 patients can be enrolled at each center or until the study is completed, whichever comes first.

It is recommended that each center enroll at least 20 patients.

Intervention

Procedure:
• The guidewire successfully passed the CTO lesion
The successful passage of the guide wire through the CTO lesion was defined as: the guide wire successfully passed through the CTO lesion and reached the distal true lumen as confirmed by angiography. Aspirin load dose (300 mg), clopidogrel load dose (300 mg), or ticagrelor load dose (180 mg) is recommended for all subjects prior to stent implantation and is recommended to be taken at least 6 hours prior to surgery.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Major adverse cardiac events	All causes of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis (ARC clear/probable), and clinically driven target vessel revascularization	The study design was event-driven. When a predetermined number of primary endpoints (number of MACE events = 291) occurs (expected 3 years), the study termination procedure will be initiated and this data will be used for primary end point analysis.
Secondary	Cardiogenic death	This includes acute myocardial infarction, cardiac perforation/tamponade, arrhythmia or conduction abnormalities, cerebrovascular accidents at discharge or suspected operating-related cerebrovascular accidents, death from surgical complications, including hemorrhage, vascular repair, transfusion reaction, or bypass surgery, or any death of cardiac origin that cannot be ruled out.	30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
Secondary	Nonfatal myocardial infarction	Nonfatal myocardial infarction	30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
Secondary	Target lesion revascularization	Target lesion revascularization is any ischemia-driven repetitive percutaneous coronary intervention to improve blood flow to a successfully treated target lesion or to bypass the target vessel and use a graft distally to the successfully treated target lesion.; If the target lesion diameter is =50% stenosis as assessed by QCA and there is clinical or functional ischemia that cannot be explained by other coronary or graft lesions, vascularization will be considered to be induced by ischemia.	30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
Secondary	Target vessel revascularization	Target vessel revascularization is defined as repeated intervention in the vessel where the target lesion is located in reference to target lesion revascularization	30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
Secondary	Target lesion failure	Target lesion failure refers to target lesion revascularization, target vascular-related MI (Q wave and non-Q wave) or (cardiac) death due to ischemia	30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
Secondary	Target vessel failure	Target vessel failure refers to target vessel revascularization, target-related MI (Q wave and non-Q wave), or target-related (cardiac) death resulting from ischemia	30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months after surgery
Secondary	Left ventricular function improved	Left ventricular ejection fraction at 1 year and changes from baseline to 1 year	Baseline period and one-year follow-up period
Secondary	Percentage stenosis of segmental and stent diameter	Anangiographic percentage of insegment and instent diameter stenosis measured by QCA at 12 months postoperatively	The follow-up period was 12 months
