Details and patient eligibility

About

Coronary revascularization could be accomplished either by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is featured by minimal invasive, low complication and rapid rehabilitation. CABG is characterized by improved long-term, event-free survival attributable to the use of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft. Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) consists of LIMA bypass to left anterior coronary descending artery (LAD) by minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and PCI of other stenosed coronary arteries with DES implantation. One-step HCR entails LIMA-LAD anastomosis performed through MIDCAB, immediately followed by PCI for non-LAD lesions, sometimes for diagonal branch, in the hybrid operating room. Limited data are available in comparing one-step HCR to PCI alone for the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease(MVD). The current EAST-HCR study will investigate the efficacy and safety of one-step HCR for patients with MVD, as comparing to PCI alone.

Inclusion criteria

1. 18 Years and older
2. signed the informed consent
3. indicated for revascularization, with possible bypass segment in LAD and amendable lesions by PCI in other vessels
4. anatomy requiring as following: (1) Multivessel CAD involving the LAD (proximal or mid) and/or LM (ostial, mid-shaft or distal) with at least 1 other epicardial coronary artery requiring treatment in LCX or RCA, including: (2) LAD disease, and a major diagonal lesion, either bifurcation or independent in location, with both requiring revascularization (determined by QFR or FFR) (3) LM distal bifurcation lesion (Medina 1,1,1), intended for 2-stent approach if randomized to PCI
5. Heart team discussion after angiogram, with conclusion of suitable candidate for either PCI or HCR
6. Able to tolerate and no plans to interrupt dual anti-platelet therapy for 3~12 months
7. Willing to comply with 2-year clinical follow-up

Exclusion criteria

6. Concomitant vascular or other cardiac disease with plan of surgical treatment
7. Indication for chronic oral anticoagulation therapy
8. Previous stroke history within 6-month prior to randomization
9. Survival expectation less than 3 years due to non-cardiac illness
10. Allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or devices used in the trial
11. Enrolled in additional clinical study
12. Informed consent not available or noncompliance with follow-up
13. Pregnant

200 participants in 2 patient groups

one-step Hybrid Coronary Revascularization (HCR)

Experimental group

Description:

One-step HCR is defined as off-pump MIDCAB LIMA-LAD revascularization immediately followed by PCI for at-least one non-LAD lesion(or LAD-diagonal lesion) with DES implantation in a hybrid operating room.

Treatment:

Procedure: coronary revascularization

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

Active Comparator group

Description:

PCI will be performed using standard technique at the discretion of interventional cardiologist with DES implantation in a routine catheter lab.

Treatment:

Procedure: coronary revascularization
