Reduced duration of dual antiplatelet therapy using an improved drug-eluting stent for percutaneous coronary intervention of the left main artery in a real-world, all-comer population: Rationale and study design of the prospective randomized multicenter IDEAL-LM trial - 27/09/17
Abstract |
Background |
Continuous improvements in stent technology make percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) a potential alternative to surgery in selected patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (uLMCA) disease. The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in these patients remains undetermined, and in addition, new stent designs using a bioabsorbable polymer might allow shorter duration of DAPT.
Study design |
IDEAL-LM is a prospective, randomized, multicenter study that will enroll 818 patients undergoing uLMCA PCI. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to intravascular ultrasound-guided PCI with the novel everolimus-eluting platinum-chromium Synergy stent with a biodegradable polymer (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) followed by 4 months of DAPT or the everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium Xience stent (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) followed by 12 months of DAPT. The total follow-up period will be 5 years. A subset of 100 patients will undergo optical coherence tomography at 3 months.
End points |
The primary end point will be major adverse cardiovascular events (composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization) at 2 years. Secondary end points will consist of the individual components of the primary end point, procedural success, a device-oriented composite end point, stent thrombosis as per Academic Research Consortium criteria, and bleeding as per Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria.
Summary |
IDEAL-LM is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the novel Synergy stent followed by 4 months of DAPT vs the Xience stent followed by 12 months of DAPT in patients undergoing uLMCA PCI. The study will provide novel insights regarding optimal treatment strategy for patients undergoing PCI of uLMCA disease (www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT 02303717).
