Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Evaluate whether PCI in combination with optimal medical therapy (OMT) will reduce all-cause death and hospitalization for HF compared to a strategy of OMT alone.

BACKGROUND: Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is the most common cause of heart failure (HF) and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Surgical revascularization has been shown to improve long-term outcomes in some patients, but surgery itself carries a major early hazard. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may allow a better balance between risk and benefit.

METHODS: REVIVED-BCIS2 is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial, funded by the National Institute for Health Research in the United Kingdom. Follow-up will be for at least 2 years from randomization. Secondary outcomes include left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), quality of life scores, appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy and acute myocardial infarction. Patients with LVEF ≤35%, extensive coronary disease and demonstrable myocardial viability are eligible for inclusion and those with a myocardial infarction within 4 weeks, decompensated HF or sustained ventricular arrhythmias within 72 h are excluded. A trial of 700 patients has more than 85% power to detect a 30% relative reduction in hazard.

RESULTS: A total of 400 patients have been enrolled to date.

CONCLUSIONS: International guidelines do not provide firm recommendations on the role of PCI in managing severe ICM, because of a lack of robust evidence. REVIVED-BCIS2 will provide the first randomized data on the efficacy and safety of PCI in ICM and has the potential to inform guidelines pertaining to both revascularization and HF.
