Usefulness of the Use of Co-registration Strategy With iFR in Long and/or Diffuse Coronary Lesions

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Randomized controlled trial to determinate if the physiological iFR pullback evaluation with Syncvision software (intervention group) could be useful in the reduction of stent length implanted, with the potencial benefit in terms of MACEs reduction at follow-up with respect to angiographic guiding of percutaneous coronary intervention (control group).

Detailed Description
-----------------
Physiological coronary lesion evaluation is actually a routine practice in the labs to guide percutaneous coronary intervention decision making. Unlike FFR, the new index permit us to perform an analysis of the physiological importance of every lesion and every coronary segment. This fact has allowed to create a new specific software. Syncvision show us the functional compromise of every lesion and predict the expected IFR improvement. This potential benefit could have an extra benefit in the reduction of the implanted stent length. There are some observational study published that reported a reduction of 5 mm of stent length, but we think that the reduction could be significantly higher. However, this reduction could be detrimental of the complete cover of plaque in this type of lesion, which has also proved to be a predictor of MACEs. For this reason, we have proposed to perform a randomized study to define if the utilization of physiological IFR pullback evaluation in long and/or diffuse coronary lesion present advantages over classical angiographic PCI. Study hyphotesis: Revascularization guided by IFR-Pullback in long and/or diffuse coronary lesions permit to reduce the stent length implanted, with the potential benefit in terms of MACEs reduction. Study design: Randomized and controlled study where we will include patients with significant coronary stenosis at least in one vessel and a total lesion length higher than 30 mm in the different clinical scenarios (stable angina, NSTEMI and STEMI in non-culprit lesion). In the control group, stent length will be decided by the operator. In the iFR-pullback group, stent length will be decided in base to iFR expected, trying to obtain an IFR of 0.90 with the minimum stent length as possible. The expected stent length reduction is 15 mm (primary endpoint). As secondary endpoint, we will analyze the combined endpoint of myocardial infarction, death and new revascularization). The sample size in base to primary endpoint will be of 100 patients.
