Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Treatment-Decision and Evaluation of Significant Left MAIN Coronary Artery Disease (FATE-MAIN)
Coronary Artery Disease Left Main, Coronary Artery Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Coronary Artery Disease Left Main focused on measuring Fractional Flow Reserve, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: The subject must be ≥20 years of age with angina and/or evidence of myocardial ischemia. Significant de novo LMCA disease, defined as ≥ 50% diameter stenosis by visual estimation with or without concomitant non-left main major epicardial coronary artery disease, amenable to PCI with drug-eluting stent(DES) implantation. The patient or guardian agrees to the study protocol and the schedule of clinical follow-up, and provides informed, written consent, as approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethical Committee of the respective clinical site. Exclusion Criteria: Extremely calcified or tortuous vessels precluding FFR measurement. The presence of complex coronary disease anatomy or lesion characteristics or other cardiac condition(s) which leads the participating interventional cardiologist to believe that PCI is not suitable (i.e. the subject should be managed with coronary artery bypass graft or medical therapy alone). Recent ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction(<7 days prior to randomization). Cardiogenic shock and/or need for mechanical/pharmacologic hemodynamic support. Severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction <30%). Requirement for other cardiac surgical procedure (e.g., valve replacement or aorta surgery). Contraindication or inability to take aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or clopidogrel). Prior PCI of the left main trunk. Prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Subjects requiring or who may require additional surgery (cardiac or noncardiac) within 1 year. End-stage renal disease requiring renal replacement therapy. Liver cirrhosis. Pregnant and/or lactating women. Concurrent medical condition with a limited life expectancy of less than 2 years. Patients who are actively participating in another drug or device investigational study, which have not completed the primary endpoint follow-up period.
