Drug Coated Balloon Only vs Drug Eluting Stent Angioplasty

Outcomes of Drug Coated Balloon Angioplasty, A UK Real Life Experience

Drug coated balloon (DCB) is a relatively new technology which allows the treatment of coronary artery disease without permanent implantation of a metallic scaffold (stent) in the coronary artery. It is recommended by international guidelines for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (i.e. when a previously implanted stent in the coronary artery develops narrowings again). Data on patient outcomes of patients treated with DCB for de novo coronary artery disease (narrowings in artery supplying blood to the heart that has not been previously treated with a stent) are limited to relatively small studies. In our institution, DCBs have been used over the last 10 years and we have developed a large clinical database. We intend to compare the outcomes of all our patients treated clinically with DCB vs patients treated with drug eluting stent (DES). We will, incorporate all patients presenting either with myocardial infarction (heart attack) or stable angina. Our main outcomes will be: Primary 1) mortality Secondary 1) cardiac mortality 2) cardiac rehospitalisation3) composite of cardiac mortality and cardiac rehospitalisation

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
DCB
DCB group: Patients treated with drug coated balloon (DCB) only angioplasty (all-comers: STEMI, NSTEMI, Stable angina)
Angioplasty with DCB is an angioplasty technique which allows drug delivery to the coronary artery without stent implantation.
DES
DES group: Patients treated with drug eluting stent (DES) angioplasty (all-comers:STEMI, NSTEMI, Stable angina)
Angioplasty with DES is an angioplasty technique which permits drug delivery to the coronary artery and permanent implantation of a stent.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
All-cause mortality
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 10 years
All cause death will be defined as death due to any cause
Through study completion, an average of 10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cardiac mortality - either MI, TVR, Acute Vessel Closure or TLR
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 10 years

An MI is defined as per MINAP definition (a hospital diagnosis reported as a troponin positive MI). A TVR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention or surgical bypass of any segment of the target vessel. The latter is defined as the entire major coronary vessel proximal and distal to the target lesion, including upstream and downstream branches and the target lesion itself.

Acute vessel closure is defined as an event where a patient had to be taken back to cardiac catheterisation lab and require repeat angioplasty (during the same hospital stay) for a complete or partial occlusion of the artery due to a dissection.

A TLR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion. The target lesion is defined as the treated segment from 5 mm proximal and 5 mm distal to the treated lesion (by visual assessment).

Through study completion, an average of 10 years
Cardiac rehospitalisation
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 10 years
Any hospital record of admission due to cardiac complications
Through study completion, an average of 10 years
Composite of cardiac death and cardiac rehospitalisation
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 10 years
Any hospital record of admission and death due to cardiac complications
Through study completion, an average of 10 years
