Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IVUS Console and IVUS Catheter in coronary intervention therapy

Participants will:

Undergo IVUS examinations from two different manufacturers(from Pulse and Boston Scientific)

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.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Subjects aged ≥ 18 years old;
  2. Subjects who require coronary artery intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance prior to stent implantation upon clinical judgment;
  3. Subjects who are able to understand and willing to sign the form (ICF).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects who are not suitable for percutaneous coronary stent implantation;
  2. Subjects who are diagnosed with coronary artery spasm;
  3. Subjects with a history of allergy to contrast agents;
  4. Subjects who are participating in other clinical trials and have not yet reached the primary endpoint;
  5. Subjects who are deemed ineligible to be included in this trial by the investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Effectiveness

    Measure the Mean Stent Area in square millimeter(MSA) Comparison between the MSA measured by the Pulse and Boston Scientific Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System, including mean relative deviation, confidence interval and standard deviation, as assessed by Bland-Altman analysis .

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at one week

Secondary outcomes

  1. Minimal Lumen Area in square millimeter(MLA)

    Comparison between the MLA measured by the Pubmed Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System and Boston Scientific Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System, as assessed by Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson analysis.

    Time frame: Estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis

  2. Stent Length in millimeter (SL)

    Comparison between the SL measured by the Pubmed Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System and Boston Scientific Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System, as assessed by Bland-Altman analysis and Pearson analysis.

    Time frame: Estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis

  3. The rate of detected stent malapposition, tissue prolapse and dissection

    Detection rate of poor adherence, tissue prolapse and intercalation, for each system individually, and comparison between the two systems.

    Time frame: Estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis

  4. Identification plaque properties

    Rates of lipid-rich plaque, fibrous plaque and calcified plaque, discerned by each system individually, and comparison between the two systems

    Time frame: Estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis

  5. Stability of system(questionnaire)

    Evaluate the stability, ease of use, and clarity of captured images of the both IVUS systems from all enrolled case. Each performance includes three options: excellent, good, and poor.

    Time frame: estimated 1week on average, by opeartor's rating on questionaire

  6. Maneuvering performance of catheter(questionnaire)

    Evaluate the maneuvering performance of catheters in the two systems concluded from all enrolled case, including below measures :the pushability,the crossability and the angiographic visibility,Each performance includes three options: excellent, good, and poor.

    Time frame: estimated 1week on average, by opeartor's rating on questionaire

Other outcomes

  1. Rate of intraoperative adverse effects

    Rate of device-related adverse effects, for each system individually, and comparison between the two systems.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at one weeks

  2. Rate of successful use of instruments

    Device success rate, defined as a valid IVUS image for each system, and comparison between the two systems

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at one weeks
