Angiography Versus (vs) IVUS Optimisation (AVIO)

Angiography vs. IVUS Optimisation: A Multi-Centre European Study of Drug Eluting Stent Implantation

The purpose of the study id to demonstrate an advantage for intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS) optimized drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation compared to angiography in complex lesions

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A complex lesion is regarded as a lesion where the operator would expect a lower immediate and long term success rate compared to non-complex lesions (according to the results of Randomized Controlled Trials and from large Registries). The operator must consider the implantation of a drug-eluting stent, feasible and appropriate for this particular complex lesion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contra-indication to dual anti-platelet therapy.
  • Ejection fraction <30%.
  • Renal failure (creatinine >2 mg/dL).
  • Significant co-morbidity precluding clinical follow-up.
  • Acute myocardial infarction in the 48 hours prior to the procedure.
  • In-stent restenosis
  • Prior brachytherapy
  • Thrombocytopenia <100,000
  • Unprotected left main stem stenosis
  • Venous or arterial grafts
  • Recipient of heart transplant
  • A positive pregnancy test in women with child bearing potential
  • Acute infections
  • Major surgery planned which will lead to discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy
  • Patients with prior BMS or DES implanted in the target vessel less than one year prior to the enrollment, including one year from any intercurrent restenotic or thrombotic event
  • Age under 18 years old.
  • There is no maximum number of lesions which can be treated
