Overview
This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial involving patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus. Enrolled patients will be dividing into real-time heart team decision-making group (intervention group) and usual care group (control group). The intervention group will conduct a real-time online multidisciplinary heart team discussion and decision-making during coronary angiography. The control group will conduct an usual care decision-making.
Interventions
- Other Real-Time Heart Team Decision-making
A online multidisciplinary heart team discussion and decision-making will be conducted during coronary angiography.
Primary outcome measures
- One-year composite of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events [Time frame: 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Clinical adverse events [Time frame: From randomization through 1-year follow-up (events recorded during index hospitalization and at follow-up visits up to 12 months).]
- Guideline-concordant revascularization decision rate [Time frame: During index hospitalization (typically within 30 days of admission)]
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) utilization rate [Time frame: During index hospitalization (typically within 30 days of admission)]
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) utilization rate [Time frame: During index hospitalization (typically within 30 days of admission)]
- Medical therapy rate [Time frame: During index hospitalization (typically within 30 days of admission)]
- Waiting time from diagnostic angiography to treatment initiation [Time frame: During index hospitalization (typically within 30 days of admission)]
- Medical costs [Time frame: Index hospitalization until discharge (typically within 30 days of admission).]
- Hospital length of stay [Time frame: From hospital admission to discharge for the index hospitalization (up to 30 days).]
- Prolonged PCI hospitalization [Time frame: From index PCI procedure to discharge for the index hospitalization (up to 30 days).]
- Time spent per heart team case [Time frame: At the time of the heart team discussion during the index hospitalization (up to 30 days from admission).]
- Specialist satisfaction with discussion adequacy [Time frame: Immediately after each heart team discussion during the index hospitalization (up to 30 days from admission).]
- Seniority of participating specialist in heart team discussions [Time frame: From index PCI procedure to discharge for the index hospitalization (up to 30 days)]
