Bifurcation Lesion Analysis and STenting / BLAST

NCT02316782 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 195

Last updated 2024-06-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) grayscale and VH (Virtual Histology)-IVUS pre-stenting can assess more accurately the location, amount, and type of a blockage than angiogram alone. Additionally, this study is to determine if IVUS grayscale and VH-IVUS guidance will result in improved acute and long term procedural outcome vs. bifurcation stenting with only angiographic guidance in native coronary arteries.

Conditions

  • Coronary Atherosclerosis

Interventions

DEVICE

Blinded IVUS assessment

Only the angiogram is used for stent placement

DEVICE

Nonblinded IVUS

Angiogram, Grayscale IVUS and VH IVUS used for stent placement pre and post intervention
