NCT03756870

Brief Summary

Rationale: Randomized trials could not yet establish favourable outcomes of CTO PCI on hard endpoints such as ejection fraction or mortality, when compared to optimal medical therapy. However, patients after CTO PCI appeared to be more frequently free of angina complaints, but the aetiology behind this is not fully understood. The investigators hypothesize that PCI of the CTO in patients preselected with an ischemic threshold (\>12.5%) on cardiac imaging leads to a reduction of the ischemic burden and therefore an increased benefit on functional outcomes. Objective: Primary objective is to determine whether PCI of the CTO will yield a higher reduction of ischemia assessed by exercise myocardial perfusion SPECT-CT from baseline to 6-month follow-up compared to a control group. Secondary objectives are 1) to evaluate the effect of PCI of the CTO on improvement in functional status, infarct size and left ventricular function from baseline to follow-up compared to the control group; 2) to study the association between ischemia reduction and functional outcome and left ventricular function; 3) to assess the influence of the collateral flow index on the ischemic burden (reduction), functional status, infarct size and left ventricular (contractile) function (hibernation). Study design: open multicentre randomized trial Study population: 82 patients eligible for CTO PCI Intervention: CTO PCI Primary endpoint: ischemic burden assessed with exercise myocardial perfusion SPECT-CT from baseline to 6 months follow-up.

Study Arms (2)

CTO PCI

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive optimal medical therapy, with percutaneous coronary intervention of the chronic total occlusion.

Procedure: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

OMT

NO INTERVENTION

Patients will receive optimal medical therapy, without percutaneous coronary intervention of the chronic total occlusion.

Interventions

A percutaneous coronary intervention of the chronic total occlusion with a drug-eluting stent.

CTO PCI

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • A chronic total occlusion is present and target lesion. A CTO is required to meet the following characteristics:
  • A 100% luminal narrowing of the coronary artery without antegrade flow, i.e. Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade 0 or 1;
  • Older than 3 months, established with previous PCI or with angiographic characteristics;
  • Amenable to percutaneous revascularization.
  • Patient has a clinical indication to perform CTO PCI.
  • A SPECT is performed at baseline to assess ischemia and a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) scan to assess viability, as part of routine patient care. Patients are deemed eligible for the randomized trial when they meet the ischemic threshold in the CTO territory.
  • The ischemic threshold is defined as:
  • \>12.5% of ischemia;
  • With \<50% transmural extent of infarction.
  • Subject is able to verbally confirm understanding and he/she provides written informed consent prior to any Clinical Investigation related procedure, as approved by the appropriate Ethics Committee.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject is younger than 18 years of age;
  • Persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation;
  • Presence of a non-MRI compatible cardiac device, i.e. pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator;
  • Body weight \> 250 kg;
  • Unable to exert, i.e. due to physical disability;
  • Any contraindication for SPECT or CMR, i.e. cerebrovascular clips, claustrophobia;
  • Known renal insufficiency (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate \[eGFR\] \<60 mL/min/1.73m2 or serum creatinine level of \>2.5 mg/dL or subject on dialysis);
  • Hypersensitivity or allergy to contrast with inability to properly pre-hydrate;
  • Presence of a comorbid condition with a life expectancy of less than one year;
  • Participation in another trial;
  • Subject is belonging to a vulnerable population (per investigator's judgment, e.g., subordinate hospital staff) or is unable to read or write.
