Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that intravenous regadenoson is equivalent to intravenous Adenoscan® for the physiological assessment of intermediate coronary lesions.

Detailed description

This is a prospective open label, single center pilot trial that will evaluate regadenoson compared to Adenoscan® to be given IV in the assessment of Fractional Flow Reserve. Forty eight subjects will be enrolled and get Adenoscan® administered via IV followed by Regadenoson IV.

Interventions

DRUGFFR Measurement with IV Adenoscan® then with Regadenoson

Testing will be completed during a Left Heart Catheterization (LHC). The first 48 eligible patients enrolled will receive an initial infusion of IV Adenoscan® through a peripheral vein at 140 mcg/kg/min. FFR measurements will be obtained utilizing a coronary pressure guide wire once peak hyperemia has been achieved. It takes about 84 seconds to reach peak hyperemia with Adenoscan®. Subsequently, these subjects will receive a dose of regadenoson at 0.4 mg through the same peripheral access site. FFR measurements will be obtained once peak hyperemia is achieved, which takes less than 30 seconds with regadenoson. Patients who react to either medication will be supported conservatively under close scrutiny.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparing Measurement of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)DAY 1For the first measurement of FFR, the subject will receive Adenoscan® by IV infusion. Then the FFR measurements will be taken. When vital signs have returned to normal, after two minutes the line will be flushed with saline. The subject will then receive Regadenoson by IV infusion and repeat FFR measurements will be recorded. The subject will be administered aminophylline and the time duration it takes to return to baseline hemodynamic will be recorded.
