Conditions

Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease, Stable Angina

Brief summary

ORBITA-MOON is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled experimental study that aims to understand how the different coronary artery stenoses contribute to overall clinical angina in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease. This study will investigate the symptoms conferred by each stenosis, induced by experimental ischaemia, for 60 patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Coronary artery stenting for stable angina

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTSymptom assessment during experimentally induced ischaemia

Transient experimental balloon occlusion across coronary stenosis to determine the symptoms conferred by ischaemia at this stenosis.

Masking description

Participants and outcomes assessors will be briefly blinded during the experimental research procedure, during the placebo-controlled balloon inflations when they are asked to report their symptoms. Once the inflations have been completed, all patients will go on to have stents and the blinded part of the protocol will be over.

Intervention model description

All participants will partake in the same research protocol.

Inclusion criteria

* Eligibility for PCI due to angina * Anatomical evidence of significant multi-vessel coronary stenosis defined by either: 1. ≥70% stenosis in two or more coronary arteries of ≥2.5mm visual diameter stenosis, on invasive coronary angiography (ICA) 2. Severe stenosis in ≥2 coronary arteries of ≥ 2.5mm visual diameter stenosis, on CTCA * Physiological evidence of ischaemia with a positive test corresponding to the coronary arteries to be stented, on at least one of the following: * dobutamine stress echocardiogram * cardiac MRI * myocardial perfusion study * invasive metrics of coronary physiology

Exclusion criteria

* Recent acute coronary syndrome * Previous coronary artery by-pass graft surgery (CABG) * Significant left main stem disease * Chronic total occlusion in the target artery(s) * Moderate to severe valvular disease * Moderate to severe left ventricular impairment * Contraindication to PCI or a drug-eluting stents * Contraindication to antiplatelet therapy * Contraindication to adenosine * Pregnant * Inability to consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Placebo-controlled similarity score during induced ischaemia at the coronary stenosisIntra-proceduralThe patient scores the similarity of the angina experienced during the experimental balloon inflation procedure against the angina experienced before the procedure between 0-10 (Higher Score = Most similar)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
