Study of Lesion-Specific Invasive Haemodynamic Angina Thresholds

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

ORBITA-SOLAR is an invasive physiological cardiac catheterisation study that aims to determine whether different coronary stenoses have different angina thresholds. The angina threshold is defined as the amount of coronary flow reduction required to reproduce symptoms. Sixty patients with symptoms of stable angina and 2 coronary artery stenoses amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be recruited. This study will use intra-coronary balloon inflation during supine exercise to measure the fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperemic pressure ratio (NHPR) that corresponds to angina onset.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

  • Contraindication to antiplatelet therapy

Other illness

  • Acute coronary syndrome within 3 months
  • Significant left main stem disease
  • Moderate to severe valve disease

Lab values

  • LVEF ≤40%, contraindication to PCI or drug-eluting stents

Age

  • Age \<18 years

Other

  • Single lesion amenable to PCI
  • Chronic total occlusion of the target artery
  • Contraindication to adenosine
  • Physical inability to exercise with an ergometer
  • Femoral artery access
  • Pregnancy
  • Inability to consent

Who the study is looking for

  • Eligibility for PCI due to angina or angina-equivalent symptoms on exertion
  • 2 severe epicardial stenoses in a major coronary artery, defined as:
    • ≥70% stenosis in a coronary artery with ≥2.5mm diameter, on invasive coronary angiography (ICA)
    • Severe stenosis in a vessel with ≥2.5mm diameter, on CTCA
  • Evidence of ischaemia on an invasive or non-invasive test, including:
    • Physiological test during invasive coronary angiography (ICA)
    • Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE)
    • Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
    • Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS)
    • Fractional flow reserve computed-tomography (FFR-CT)
