Study summary

The objective of this study is to assess the current standard of care treatment outcome in none/mild, moderate and severely calcified coronary lesions using:

  • A composite of MACE at 30-day and one (1) year post procedure, and
  • Procedural and lesion success
Read the detailed description

This prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study includes subjects who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and sign the ICF. This study may treat up to approximately 500 subjects at up to 50 active sites in the U.S. Subjects may be followed up to three (3) years. Subjects will be stratified into one (1) of three (3) arms based on the degree of calcification in the coronary lesion as defined by this protocol. The duration of the study is expected to be approximately four (4) years.

  3. Subjects CK-MB must be less than or equal to the upper limit of lab normal value within eight (8) hours prior to procedure. If CK-MB results are not yet available prior to initiating procedure, subjects Troponin I or Troponin T must be less than or equal to the upper limit of lab normal value within eight (8) hours prior to the procedure.
  4. The target lesion must be a de novo coronary lesion that has not been previously treated with any interventional procedure.
  5. The target vessel must be a native coronary artery with:

    1. A stenosis ≥ 70% and \< 100%, or
    2. A stenosis ≥ 50% \< 70% with evidence of clinical ischemia
  6. The target vessel reference diameter must be ≥ 2.5mm and ≤ 4.0 mm.
  7. The lesion length must not exceed 40 mm.
  8. The target vessel must have a Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow three (3) at baseline.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Unwilling or unable to sign the MACE clinical study ICF.
  3. History of any cognitive or mental health status that would interfere with study participation.

  5. Female subjects who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the study period.
  6. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, ticlopidine or clopidogrel without adequate alternative medications.
  7. Known sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
  8. Diagnosed with chronic renal failure unless under hemodialysis, or has a serum creatinine level >2.5 mg/dl.
  9. History of major cardiac intervention within 30-day, not including a PCI procedure for a staging purpose.

  18. Subject has planned cardiovascular intervention within 60 days post index procedure.
  19. Subject with angiographically confirmed evidence of more than two (2) lesions within one (1) vessel or more than one (1) vessel requiring intervention, unless the treatment is staged. See Section 10.1 for more details.
  20. Target lesion is located in a native vessel distal to anastomosis with a saphenous vein graft or Left Internal Mammary Artery/ Right Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA/RIMA) bypass.
  21. Target vessel has angiographically visible or suspected thrombus.
  22. Target vessel appears to be/is excessively tortuous at baseline.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. MACE at 30 Days

    A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to determine the percent probability that a study participant experienced a major adverse cardiac event through 30 days. 30-day MACE is composed of: * Cardiac death * Myocardial Infarction (MI) - defined as a Creatine Kinase Myocardial-Band Isoenzyme (CK-MB) level greater than three (3) times the Upper Limit of Lab Normal (ULN) value with or without new pathologic Q wave * Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) - defined as a revascularization at the target vessel (inclusive of the target lesion) after the completion of the index procedure

    Time frame: 30 days post procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. MACE at One (1) Year

    A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to determine the percent probability that a study participant experienced a major adverse cardiac event through 1 year. 1-year MACE is composed of: * Cardiac death * Myocardial Infarction (MI) - defined as a Creatine Kinase Myocardial-Band Isoenzyme (CK-MB) level greater than three (3) times the Upper Limit of Lab Normal (ULN) value with or without new pathologic Q wave * Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) - defined as a revascularization at the target vessel (inclusive of the target lesion) after the completion of the index procedure

    Time frame: One (1) year post procedure

  2. Procedural Success

    Procedural success is defined as success in facilitating stent delivery with a residual stenosis of \<50% and without the occurrence of an in-hospital MACE.

    Time frame: Participants were followed from baseline procedure through hospital discharge, an expected average of 24 hours

  3. Lesion Success

    Lesion success is defined as success in facilitating stent delivery with a post-procedural result of \<50% residual stenosis for a given lesion treated during the procedure without severe angiographic complications.

    Time frame: During the procedure
