Table 2.

Secondary end points in EMPOWER CAD study.

Secondary end points
  • Angiographic success defined as stent delivery with ≤30% residual stenosis and without serious angiographic complications.

  • Procedural success defined as stent delivery with a residual stenosis <50% in all target lesions (core laboratory assessed) and without in-hospital TLF.

  • Angiographic success defined as stent delivery with <50% residual stenosis and without serious angiographic complications.

  • Serious angiographic complications defined as severe dissection (type D to F), perforation, abrupt closure, and persistent slow flow or persistent no reflow.

  • TLF at 1, 2, and 3 y.

  • Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (per SCAI definition for periprocedural MI; per Fourth Universal Definition for spontaneous MI beyond discharge), and target vessel revascularization (TVR) at 30 days and 1, 2 and 3 y.

  • At each period: all-cause death, cardiac-related death, MI, TV-MI, procedural and nonprocedural MI, ID-TVR, ID-TLR, ID-non-TLR, ID-non-TVR, all revascularizations (ID and non-ID), and stent thrombosis (Academic Research Consortium definite, probable, definite or probable).

  • MI rates and all composite end points (TLF, MACE) will also be reported using the Fourth Universal definition for periprocedural and spontaneous MI at all time points.

  • Angina symptoms assessed by Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ-7) as a change from baseline (at each period).

  • Quality of life assessed by EQ-5D-5L as a change from baseline (at each period).

  • Quality of life assessed by Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) as a change from baseline (at each period).

CAD, coronary artery disease; ID, ischemia driven; MI, myocardial infarction; TLF, target lesion failure.
