A Randomized Trial Comparing Same Day Discharge and a Single Bolus of Abciximab to Overnight Hospitalization and Bolus + Perfusion Abciximab After Uncomplicated Trans-Radial Coronary Artery Stenting
ISRCTN ISRCTN72335887
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00169819
Public title A Randomized Trial Comparing Same Day Discharge and a Single Bolus of Abciximab to Overnight Hospitalization and Bolus + Perfusion Abciximab After Uncomplicated Trans-Radial Coronary Artery Stenting
Scientific title
Acronym EArly discharge after trans-radial Stenting of coronarY arteries: The EASY study
Serial number at source H4S-CA-0050
Study hypothesis 1. Discharge on the same day after uncomplicated trans-radial coronary artery stenting is safe and effective.
2. Hospitalized patients can be safely returned to the referring center the same day following trans-radial coronary artery stenting.
3. Abciximab given as a single bolus with optimal trans-radial coronary artery stenting is as safe and effective as bolus + 12 hrs perfusion and does not hamper early discharge.
4. Same-day discharge is cost-effective and increases patient satisfaction.
Lay summary
Ethics approval Not provided at time of registration
Study design Randomised controlled trial
Countries of recruitment Canada
Disease/condition/study domain Angina
Participants - inclusion criteria Approximately 1000 patients undergoing 'adhoc' percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be randomized.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with documented ischemic coronary artery disease and scheduled for possible coronary artery stenting are eligible.
2. Patient must be >18 years of age.
3. Patient and treating interventional cardiologist agree for randomization.
4. Patient will be informed of the randomization process and will sign an informed consent.
5. Diagnostic and therapeutic intervention performed through trans-radial/ulnar artery approach.
Participants - exclusion criteria CLINICAL:
1. Patients with recent (<72 hrs) Q-wave (ST elevation) acute myocardial infarction
2. History of LV ejection fraction ≤30%
3. Unstable clinical condition
4. Any complication compromising ambulation
5. Concurrent participation in other investigational study requiring prolonged hospitalization
6. Required prolonged hospitalization
7. In–cath lab transient vessel closure
8. Resuscitation per PCI
9. Hemodynamic collapse during PCI
10. Severe entry site complication upon investigator decision
11. Social isolation
12. Serious cognitive disorders
13. Femoral sheath (artery)
14. Persisting chest pain
15. No ASA prior PCI
16. Allergy to ASA or thienopyridines precluding treatment for 30 days
17. Any significant blood dyscrasia
18. PCI without stent implantation (except for bifurcation lesion or re-dilatation for in-stent restenosis)
19. International Normalised Ratio (INR) >2.0
20. Contraindication to Reopro administration

ANGIOGRAPHIC:
1. Residual dissection of grade ≥B of NHBLI classification
2. Compromised or sub-occluded branch with diameter ≥ 1 mm
3. Timi <3 post-stenting
4. Thrombus post-PCI

Patient information material
Target number of participants 1000
Interventions Patients with stable or unstable angina referred for catheterization and possible percutaneous intervention are eligible.

After diagnostic trans-radial catheterization, patients receive a bolus of Abciximab and undergo dilatation and stent implantation. At the end of the uncomplicated procedure, patients are randomized between group 1: No perfusion of Abciximab and discharge 4-6 hours after PCI and group 2: Standard 12 hours Abciximab perfusion and overnight hospitalization. In case of complications, patients are included in a registry and receive standard 12 hours Abciximab perfusion. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and biology tests (creatine kinase [CK] CK-myocardial band [CK-MB], troponins) are performed before, 4-6 hours after and the next day after PCI. Clinical follow-up is performed at 24 hours, 30 days, 6 months and 1 year after PCI.
Primary outcome measure(s) The primary end-point of the study is the composite of death, myocardial infarction, repeat hospitalization, urgent revascularization, severe thrombocytopenia, access site complications and major bleedings at 30 days following stent implantation.
Secondary outcome measure(s) The secondary end-point is the composite of death, myocardial infarction, repeat target vessel revascularization at 30 days, 6 months and 1 year following stent implantation. Other secondary end-points include the total hospital stay (days) between the index procedure and the first 30 days follow-up, the number of unsolicited medical visits in relation with the percutaneous procedure, index of patient satisfaction and direct and indirect costs.
Sources of funding This Study is an Investigator Initiated Trial, which is supported by unrestricted grants from Eli-Lilly and Bristol-Myers-Squibb (Canada)
