Clinical Trial Summary

Insight Lifetech Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System (referred to as Insight Lifetech IVUS system below),is a new high-speed and high-resolution device for clearly defining vessel architecture and plaque morphology, providing quantitative and qualitative assessment of coronary arteries. Besides, IVUS has already an established role in guidance and optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention. This study will compare the differences, if any, between the intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) results measured by the two different IVUS diagnostic systems.

Description:

Many studies have reported that IVUS is an accurate method for determining the size of the target vessel undergoing stent implantation , and the optimal stent deployment (complete stent expansion and apposition and lack of edge dissection or other complications after implantation). The novel 60 megahertz(60MHz) high-definition IVUS has evolved as a next-generation IVUS imaging technology to provide higher image resolution than conventional 40 megahertz(40MHz) IVUS but with sufficient imaging depth preserved for the assessment of the entire vessel wall structure. Insight Lifetech IVUS system includes TrueVision IVUS diagnostic catheter and VivoHeart IVUS diagnostic console. It is a novel device with high speed, high resolution, and high image acquisition rate enabling high-speed pullback imaging up to 10mm/sec. This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, single-blind, controlled study with the primary target of investigating the differences, if any, between IVUS measurement results by the Insight Lifetech IVUS system and Boston Scientific IVUS system, imaging catheter of which was available at 40MHz during the study. Other purposes included analyzing the feasibility of the Insight Lifetech IVUS system's high-speed pullback during the IVUS assessment. A total of 130 patients will be recruited from 5 centers in China.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mean Stent Area in square millimeter(MSA)	Comparison between the MSA measured by the Insight Lifetech Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnositic System and Boston Scientific Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System, including mean relative deviation, confidence interval and standard deviation, as assessed by Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson correlation analysis.	estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis
Secondary	Clear Stent Length in millimeter (CSL)	Comparison between the CSL measured by the Insight Lifetech Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System and Boston Scientific Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System, including mean relative deviation, confidence interval and standard deviation, as assessed by Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson analysis.	estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis
Secondary	Minimal Lumen Area in square millimeter(MLA)	Comparison between the MLA measured by the Insight Lifetech Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System and Boston Scientific Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System, including mean relative deviation, confidence interval and standard deviation, as assessed by Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson analysis.	estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis
Secondary	The rate of detected stent malapposition, tissue prolapse and dissection	Detection rate of poor adherence, tissue prolapse and intercalation, for each system individually, and comparison between the two systems.	estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis
Secondary	Stability of system (questionnaire)	Evaluate the stability of both systems concluded from all enrolled case using questionnaire, including below measures : the stability of IVUS examination ; the usability of system operation; the definition of images.; For each system in 1., 2., and 3., only one of the following five ratings is given: very stable/convenient/clear images; stable/convenient/clear images, inspection was unaffected; slightly unstable/inconvenient/unclear images, inspection was unaffected; unstable/inconvenient/unclear images, inspection was affected; (in the order of 1./2./3.); N/A.; and is counted as 1 point for that particular rating. The distribution of the points in rating and how many points each rating individually owns are compared between the systems.	estimated 1week on average, by opeartor's rating on questionaire
