Surgical coronary bypass surgery (CABG) has been demonstrated to confer significant survival benefit over medical therapies patients with LMCA in earlier clinical trials1,2,3 and therefore was the revascularization modality of choice for a long time. Recently, several randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have shown percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to be non-inferior to CABG in the treatment of LMCA disease4,5,6,7,8. PCI is now considered to be an appropriate alternative to CABG for LMCA disease in patients with suitable anatomy9,10. Over recent decades, LMCA PCI has been performed in patients with increasing anatomical complexity and higher risk profiles (e.g. elderly, heart failure, renal failure etc). 11,12. In recent years, remarkable advancement in interventional techniques and technologies such as 2nd/3rd generation DES and potent antiplatelet therapy have contributed to the improvement of PCI success rates and reduction in complications and adverse events. Knowledge related to long term temporal variation of clinical and procedural characteristics and outcomes in patients with LMCA disease treated with PCI will therefore be important to inform and define future treatment strategies. This proposal aims to evaluate time-trends and regional differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with LMCA disease treated with PCI in the Asia-Pacific region

The Angiolite stent is a thin-strut cobalt-chromium sirolimus-eluting stent with an open-cell design and a high overexpansion capacity that might overcomes some of these challenges in LMCA PCI. The ANGIOLITE randomized trial confirmed the non-inferiority of the Angiolite stent against the conventional DES

Risk reduction of expanded MACE by TQJ230
To demonstrate the superiority of TQJ230 compared to placebo in reducing the risk of expanded MACE (cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke and urgent coronary re-vascularization requiring hospitalization) in 1) the overall study population with established CVD (Lp(a) ≥ 70 mg/dL) and/or 2) in a subpopulation with established CVD and Lp(a) ≥ 90 mg/dL.
Time frame: 51 months
MACE reduction by TQJ230
Demonstrate the superiority of TQJ230 compared to placebo in reducing the risk of the MACE composite of CV death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke.
Time frame: 51 months
coronary heart disease (CHD) outcomes by TQJ230
Demonstrate the superiority of TQJ230 compared to placebo in reducing the risk of the composite of coronary heart disease (CHD) outcomes: death due to CHD, non-fatal MI and urgent coronary re-vascularization requiring hospitalization. Evaluate the rate of all cause death.
