Diabetes-Centered Evaluation of Revascularization Strategy of Functional and Imaging-CombiNEd State-of-the-Art Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or Coronary-Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
United States, Australia, China1,500 participantsStarted 2024-06-14
Plain-language summary
The objective of this randomized study was to compare outcomes of imaging-and physiology-guided state-of-the-art percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and three-vessel CAD (not involving left main).

Inclusion criteria
. The subject must be ≥20 years of age with angina and/or evidence of myocardial ischemia.
. Patients with type 2 diabetes based on the need for treatment with insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs or a confirmed elevated blood glucose level (fasting plasma glucose elevation on \>1 occasion of ≥126 mg/dL \[7.0 mmol/L\] or 2-h postprandial of ≥200 mg/dL \[11.1 mmol/L\] during oral glucose tolerance test or random plasma glucose of ≥200 mg/dL \[11.1 mmol/L\] with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis or HbA1C ≥6.5% \[48 mmol/mol\]).
. Significant three-vessel CAD (defined as ≥ 50% diameter stenosis \[DS\] by visual estimation in each of the three major epicardial vessels or major side branches but not involving the left main coronary artery) and equivalently amenable to revascularization by means of either PCI or CABG as determined by the Heart Team at the trial site.
. The patient or guardian agrees to the study protocol and the schedule of clinical follow-up, and provides informed, written consent, as approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethical Committee of the respective clinical site.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The event rate of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events
. The presence of complex coronary disease anatomy or lesion characteristics or other cardiac condition(s) which leads the participating interventional cardiologist to believe that PCI is not suitable (i.e. the subject should be managed with CABG or medical therapy alone).
. Recent ST-elevation myocardial infarction(\<5 days prior to randomization).
. Cardiogenic shock and/or need for mechanical/pharmacologic hemodynamic support.
. Severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction \<30%).
. Requirement for other cardiac or non-cardiac surgical procedure (e.g., valve replacement, aorta surgery, or carotid revascularization). However, a maze procedure or pulmonary vein isolation is allowed.
. Contraindication or inability to take aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel) for at least 6 months.
