Brief summary

Clinical study that aims to evaluate a new strategy using the SYNTAX II Score calculator in the functional assessment of patients with new coronary 3-vessel-disease who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Detailed description

The purpose of the SYNTAX II Trial is to investigate the management of de-novo 3-vessel-disease in order to prospectively assess which patients would have at least comparable short and long term clinical outcomes between coronary artery bypass graft and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), using contemporary PCI practice. In SYNTAX II the effectiveness of a contemporary stent (designed with thinner struts, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, and a limus based drug), the use of pressure wire assessment of lesions to allow for ischemia-driven revascularisation, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance to optimise drug eluting stent deployment, and the treatment of (chronic) total occlusion lesions with contemporary techniques, will be compared against PCI practice in the original SYNTAX trial. The proposed study would involve the SYNTAX Score II to prospectively recruit subjects on the grounds of patient safety

Interventions

A coronary non-invasive Multi Slice Computed Tomography will be performed in patients

DEVICEinstantaneous wave-free ratio

Pressure-derived, adenosine-free index on physiological assessment of stenosis severity

DEVICEFractional flow reserve

Inclusion criteria

* At least 1 stenosis, angiographic, visually determined de novo lesions with more than 50 percent diameter stenosis in all 3 major epicardial territories. These are left descending coronary artery (LAD) and or side branch, proximal circumflex coronary artery (LCX) and or side branch, right descending coronary artery (RCA) and or side branch which are supplying viable myocardium without left main involvement. Patients with ostial LAD or ostial CX Medina 0,0,1 or Medina 0,1,0 may be enrolled * Patients with hypoplastic RCA with absence of descending posterior and presence of a lesion in the LAD and CX territories may be included in the trial as a 3 vessel disease equivalent * Vessel size should be at least 1.5 mm in diameter as visually assessed in diagnostic angiogram * Patients with 1. stable (Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class 1, 2, 3 or 4) angina pectoris 2. or unstable (Braunwald class) angina pectoris and ischemia 3. or patients with atypical chest pain or those who are asymptomatic provided they have myocardial ischemia, for example treadmill exercise test, radionuclide scintigraphy, stress echocardiography * All anatomical SYNTAX Scores are eligible for initial screening with the SYNTAX Score II * Patient has been informed of the nature of the study and agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Ethical Committee of the respective clinical site * Signed Heart Team Decision Form between local cardiologist and surgeon that the selected case meets all of the inclusion and

Umber of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE)

MACCE is defined as: all-cause death; cerebrovascular event (stroke); documented myocardial infarction or all-cause revascularization

Time frame: 1 year

Population: All patients enrolled in the SYNTAX II single-arm study were compared with a historical cohort selected from the SYNTAX I PCI arm (NCT00114972). Patients had three-vessel disease at presentation and qualified to enter the study based on equipoise to undergo either PCI or CABG according to the SYNTAX score II calculator (www.syntaxscore.org).
