Study summary

JDEPTH-LM Registry is a prospective, observational, multi-center study designed for the efficacy and safety of Double-effect kissing balloon technique (W-KBT) in left main (LM) bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using Perfusion balloon (PB) and Drug coated balloon (DCB) in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMD) with left circumflex artery (LCx) ostium stenosis.

Read the detailed description

JDEPTH-LM Registry is a prospective observational multi-center study. The investigators will enroll and treat patients in the registry who meet the selection criteria under usual care and for whom PCI with W-KBT following on crossover stenting for LMT-LAD direction, proximal optimization technique (POT), and conventional kissing balloon technique (C-KBT) is the optimal treatment. The operators shall obtain oral or written consent from patients who meet the criteria before performing PCI, indicating the intention to perform PCI with W-KBT, and shall keep records. The investigators will continuously register cases attempting PCI with W-KBT according to the protocol and evaluate its efficacy and safety using data from this multi-center registry.

Study population

Subjects ≥ 18 years of age with de novo LMD with LCx ostium stenosis presenting with stable angina, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, or unstable angina that are suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention including W-KBT processes. Approximately 280 subjects at 17 sites in Japan will be enrolled. Subjects will be followed through discharge and 12 months in routine clinical practice.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

  6. Left main Medina classification (1,1,1), (1,0,1), (0,1,1), (0,0,1) confirmed by coronary angiography

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Inability to provide written
  2. Patient with a history of ST-elevation myocardial infarction within the previous 1 week
  3. Patient in a state of cardiogenic shock
  4. Patient with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting
  5. Patient with malignant tumors or other conditions with a of less than one year

  7. Patient considered unsuitable for anti-thrombotic therapy after PCI
  8. Other patient whom the investigator deems unsuitable for the safe conduct of LM-PCI, including W-KBT
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Life expectancy

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Procedure success rate

    indicating the proportion of cases meeting the following three conditions: * Device delivery success * Achievement of DCB expansion for 30 seconds or more * No bailout stenting performed in the LCx

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  2. Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) at 12 months

    consisting of all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemia-driven unplanned revascularization for left main disease

    Time frame: Within 12 months of PCI procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to ST-change from DCB inflation

    confirming the time from the initiation of W-KBT to any ST elevation/depression in the electrocardiogram (ECG) to evaluate the safety of the procedure

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  2. Total DCB Inflation time

    confirming the duration for which the inflation of the DCB can be sustained during W-KBT, as the recommendation time of DCB inflation is at least 30 seconds

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  3. Maximum changes in blood pressure and heart rate

    confirming the extent of blood pressure and heart rate changes resulting from maintaining W-KBT for 30 seconds or longer in the left main coronary trunk (LMT)

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  4. Rate of use of vasopressors, inotropes, and mechanical circulatory support systems after W-KBT

    confirming that hemodynamics is not disturbed by W-KBT for LMD

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  5. Incidence cases for each component of MACE and ischemia-driven unplanned revascularization for lesions at the LCx ostium

    confirming the frequency of occurrences for each component of MACE

    Time frame: Within 12 months of PCI

Other outcomes

  1. Assessment of distal LAD coronary flow preservation during C-KBT vs. W-KBT

    Fractional flow reserve (FFR) values will be measured before and after each KBT, using either a conventional balloon or PB

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  2. ST-change recovery time

    confirming that ECG changes can easily recover even after W-KBT for LMD

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  3. Incidence of periprocedural MI defined by Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (4th UDMI), Academic Research Consortium (ARC)-2 and Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) definitions

    Time frame: Within 12 months of PCI

  4. Incidence of LM stent deformation after W-KBT assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  5. MACE at 12 months based on lesion characteristics at the LCx ostial lesions and the type of lesion preparation step

    Time frame: Within 12 months of PCI

  6. Incidence of symptom onset during W-KBT and reviewing cases showing these symptoms

    Time frame: During PCI procedure

  7. Incidence of Treatment Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] in patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

    The incidence rate will be calculated using the median LVEF or 40% as the cutoff

  8. The procedural success rate based on the number of LM-PCI experiences

    comparing efficacy and safety among various groups based on PCI operators' experience

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 May 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2027, 36 months after the start.

Of 52 observational studies under Angina, Stable, half reached primary completion within 47 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 27 and three quarters within 79. This study's planned 36 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 Mar 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
