ESTRIE-TC: Stress Echocardiography Versus Coronary Angiography for Left Main Stenosis Detection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Left main stenosis use to be treated by bypass but with the improvement of angioplasty techniques, an increasing number of patients are submit to left main coronary angioplasty. Consequences of left main intra stent stenosis can be disastrous yet, for the moment, no precise recommendation concerning the follow up of these patients exist. The investigators ought to determine if stress echocardiography can predict left main intra stent stenosis as well (non inferiorly)as control angiography that use to be done.

Detailed Description
All patients of the study will pass coronary angiogram and stress echocardiography (treadmill of dobutamine).
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Stress echography Nine to twelve months after their left main angioplasty, patients will go through a stress echo and then the usual control angiography (done routinely in most patient in our center). Patients will act as their own control. |
Other: Stress echocardiography
Patients able to exercise will have a treadmill test + echography; the others will have a dobutamine echography.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Correlation between stress echocardiography results for the detection of left main prosthesis stenosis with coronary angiogram results. [9 to 12 months after left main angioplasty]
