Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Coronary microvessel function is evaluated in patients who undergo percutaneous coronary stenting. Index of microvascular resistance (IMR) represents microvascular function and is derived from measurements taken using a pressure-temperature sensor-tipped wire. These measurements are taken before and after coronary stents are deployed. The procedure is performed by the treating interventional cardiologist. Blood samples are collected to measure the inflammatory markers. Patient demographics and procedural characteristics data are collected.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 301967 0
To evaluate the association between serum hsCRP level and coronary microvessel function. Index of microvascular resistance (IMR) which represents coronary microvessel function is assessed using a pressure-temperature sensor-tipped wire during coronary intervention.
Timepoint [1] 301967 0
Serum samples are collected from the coronary catheter at the start of the coronary intervention procedure. Baseline IMR is measured prior to coronary artery stenting. IMR measurement is repeated after coronary stenting.
Secondary outcome [1] 334404 0
Myocardial injury as assessed by peak serum troponin and creatine kinase (CK) levels. Troponin and creatine kinase (CK) were sequentially measured every 6 h up to a maximum of 24 h following coronary intervention.
Timepoint [1] 334404 0
24 hours after coronary intervention
Secondary outcome [2] 334433 0
To assess the impact of different antiplatelet medications (clopidogrel vs. ticagrelor vs. prasugrel) on microvascular function. These antiplatelet medications are routinely given to cardiac patients prior to coronary intervention. The choice of antiplatelet medications are at the discretion of treating cardiologist.
Timepoint [2] 334433 0
Antiplatelet medications are commenced by the treating cardiologist at least 24 hours prior to coronary intervention. Baseline IMR is measured prior to coronary artery stenting. IMR measurement is repeated after coronary stenting.

Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical analysis is performed using SPSS statistical software system. Continuous variables are summarised as mean+/-SD and are compared with the Student t test. Non-parametric tests are used where appropriate. Normality of data is assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smironov statistic. Logarithmic transformation of data is performed for non-normally distributed data. A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is computed to assess the relationship between HsCRP, peak troponin and IMR of culprit vessels.
