Summary

This study is aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, efficiency and feasibility of the real-time heart team approach and the conventional heart team approach.

Detailed description

This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients with complex coronary artery disease undergoing elective coronary angiography will be prospectively enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomly assigned to the real-time heart team group and the conventional heart team group by block randomization. The real-time heart team group needs to conduct multidisciplinary heart team discussion during the coronary angiography process, while the traditional heart team group needs to conduct multidisciplinary heart team discussion offline and face-to-face after the coronary angiography process. This study will prospectively collect the patient information, heart team meeting process, clinical treatment, and clinical outcomes to evaluate the efficiency and feasibility and differences in clinical outcomes of patients under different heart team approaches.

Conditions

• Cardiovascular Diseases
• Coronary Artery Disease
• Multidisciplinary Communication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	heart team meeting and discussion	When the patient is eligible for the study, the interventional cardiologist will invite a cardiac surgeon to conduct a heart team discussion. Both specialists will assess the patient comprehensively and make an optimal decision for the patient, with consideration patient's preference.
