Prognostic Impact of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction After IVL Versus RA in Patients With Severe Coronary Calcification Undergoing PCI
China590 participantsStarted 2018-01-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to lean that whether the distinct mechanisms by which intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and rotational atherectomy (RA) treat severe coronary calcification differentially affect the microcirculation, leading to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).
The main question it aims to answer is: we evaluated the prognostic value of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) CMD, assessed by the angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR), in patients with severe coronary calcification undergoing RA or IVL.
Participants will answer survey questions about their clinical outcomes for 1 year by telephone

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
Consecutive patients who underwent RA or IVL due to serve calcification during the PCI. Severe calcification was defined angiographically as radiopacities visible on both sides of the vessel lumen before contrast injection, or by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as a circumferential arc of calcification ≥270° extending for ≥5 mm in length-
Exclusion Criteria:
encompassed the presence of severe calcification treated with RA and IVL, in-stent restenosis and suboptimal angiographic image quality
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.
