NCT06275386

Brief Summary

The IMAGINATION trial is an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-center study of symptomatic patients with a native chronic total occlusion (CTO) undergoing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-coated balloon (DCB). Post-PCI IVUS and fractional flow reserve (FFR) at baseline and at 6-months follow-up will be performed. In addition, patients included in the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) substudy will undergo CCTA at 12-months follow-up. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCB-only approach in native coronary CTO.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • In-segment late lumen loss

    The difference by subtracting the minimal lumen diameter (MLD) at follow-up from the MLD postprocedure. In-segment equals DCB plus the proximal and distal 5-mm margins.

    6-months

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Angiographic outcomes assessed directly post-PCI

    immediately post-procedure (1 day)

  • HD-IVUS outcomes assessed directly post-PCI

    immediately post-procedure (1 day)

  • Physiologic outcomes assessed directly post-PCI

    immediately post-procedure (1 day)

  • Angiographic outcomes at 6-months follow-up

    6-months

  • HD-IVUS outcomes at 6-months follow-up

    6-months

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Drug-coated balloon

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will undergo PCI of the native coronary CTO with a DCB.

Device: Paclitaxel Drug-coated balloon

Interventions

Percutaneous coronary intervention of the actual CTO body with a paclitaxel drug-coated balloon.

Drug-coated balloon
