Study summary

This is a long-term follow-up of a completed clinical trial which compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using sirolimus-eluting stents and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease.

The purpose of the study is to obtain retrospective long-term data on clinical outcome of the study population.

Read the detailed description

The randomized multicenter, open-label trial "Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) With Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) for Patients With Significant Left Main Stenosis" was conducted at 4 tertiary care centers in Germany. 201 patients with unprotected left main stem stenosis (≥50%) with or without additional multivessel coronary artery disease were enrolled in a 1:1 ratio from July 2003 through February 2009. Results were published: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21272743/

Long-term follow-up will be performed by a structured telephone interview using a standardized questionnaire by an interviewer blinded to treatment allocation. Wherever possible, data will be completed and verified by health care records. Retrospective data of the underlying randomized study will be included in data analysis.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2024, 13 months after the start.

Of 58 observational studies under Coronary Stenosis, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 143. This study's planned 13 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 27, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
