An observational study in Non-ST-segment Acute Coronary Syndrome, sponsored by Tianjin Chest Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-07-10.
Sponsored by Tianjin Chest Hospital · Observational
This is an observational and prospective cohort study to examine whether the addition of IVUS plaque morphological evaluation to FFR haemodynamic assessment of non-culprit lesions in NSTEACS patients will better predict MACEs.
IMPACT-NSTEACS is a prospective, single-centre and dynamic observational study. The study population consists of NSTEACS patients who undergo FFR in lesions with intermediate to severe angiographic stenosis. Then, FFR-guided PCI is performed, followed by morphological assessment based on IVUS in all FFR-negative lesions (FNLs). After discharge all patients receive optimal medication treatment and are followed up clinically. On the basis of follow-up angiography, MACEs are further adjudicated as occurring at FNLs or not.
1,488 studies on the registry are indexed under Acute Coronary Syndrome; 273 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 350 is below the median of 500 across 590 observational studies indexed under Acute Coronary Syndrome.

For study enrollment, we screen patients with NSTEACS combination of unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction according to current guidelines. Once all clinical inclusion criteria and no clinical exclusion criteria are met, patients must sign the informed consent and undergo invasive coronary angiography (ICA). During ICA patients will be further analyzed for eligibility using angiographic inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be enrolled into the study once the IVUS measurement is delivered after successful FFR-guided PCI.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

After FFR-guided PCI, the morphometric characteristics of FNLs (FFR\>0.8) are assessment by intravascular ultrasound.
Procedure: FFR-guided PCI · Diagnostic Test: Intravascular ultrasound
After the angiographic screening for lesions with 40%-90% diameter stenosis, FFR will be performed according to standard protocol using the s5 console and PrimeWire Prestige PLUS coronary pressure wire (Volcano Corporation, San Diego, California). FFR is calculated as the ratio of mean distal intracoronary pressure measured by the pressure wire, and the mean arterial pressure measured through the coronary guiding catheter. An FFR ≤0.8 or \>90% diameter stenosis should result in a treatment decision for revascularization by PCI and lesions with FFR \>0.80 are defined as FNLs and should result in deferral of PCI.
Also known as: Functionally complete revascularization
After the successful FFR-guided PCI, IVUS will be performed in all FNLs with the ultrasound Imaging Catheter Atlantis™ SR Pro (40 MHz, mechanical-type transducer, 3.2 F, Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA, USA). Quantitative analyses of grayscale IVUS include contouring external elastic membrane (EEM) and luminal borders and the measurement of EEM cross-sectional area (CSA), luminal CSA, plaque and media CSA, plaque burdenand remodeling index. Virtual assessment of plaque is performed with iMap software (QIvus 2.0; Medis Medical Imaging Systems, Leiden, The Netherlands). Plaque components are categorized as dense calcium, necrotic core, fibrofatty, and fibrous tissue and reported as absolute area and proportion of total plaque area.
