Brief Summary:
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown in clinical trials, registries, and meta-analyses to reduce recurrent events after PCI. This is accomplished by improving the angiographic result with lesion and vessel assessment to guide stent selection and implantation and intravascular imaging following stent implantation to ensure an adequate treatment endpoint has been achieved. Despite extensive literature supporting the use of IVUS in PCI, utilization remains low in the United States. An increasing number of high-risk or complex lesions are being treated with PCI and we hypothesize that the impact of IVUS in these complex lesions will be of increased importance in reducing clinical adverse events while remaining cost effective.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Atherosclerosis Device: Eagle Eye Platinum digital IVUS catheter with optional SyncVision Device: Resolute Onyx Drug Eluting Stent Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective, single-blind clinical investigation randomizing subjects to IVUS-guided coronary stent implantation vs. angiography-guided coronary stent implantation in a 1:1 ratio.

The clinical investigation will be conducted at approximately 120 centers in the US, Canada, and Europe. Approximately 2,500-3,100 randomized subjects and up to 3 roll-in subjects per site will be enrolled in this study. Subjects participating in this clinical investigation will be followed for 2 years. The expected duration of enrollment is approximately 2.5 years. The total duration of the clinical investigation is expected to be approximately 4.5 years.

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. IVUS core lab measures final PCI Minimum Stent Area [ Time Frame: Intra-procedural ]
    The imaging primary endpoint is the final post-PCI minimum stent area (MSA) assessed by IVUS in each randomized arm, measured at an independent IVUS core laboratory blinded to treatment assignment. The MSA is an appropriate co-primary imaging endpoint as it is the most consistent and strongest parameter to predict clinical outcomes.11-14 In the present study, after 2,000 subjects are enrolled with the procedure completed, the primary endpoint of MSA will be tested to compare the IVUS-guided and angiography-guided arms. If significantly larger MSA in the IVUS-guided arm is demonstrated, the trial will continue enrolling subjects.

  2. Target vessel failure (TVF) outcomes at 12 months defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel related-myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The clinical primary endpoint is target vessel failure (TVF) outcomes at 12 months defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel related- myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization.
