Study summary

This study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized controlled trial. It plans to enroll 280 patients with moderate-to-severe calcified coronary lesions who are candidates for IVUS-guided DES implantation. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental group (n=140) or the control group (n=140). The primary endpoint is the MSA measured by IVUS immediately after the procedure, with the purpose of verifying the safety and efficacy of the high-pressure cutting balloon in optimizing stent implantation outcomes.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥18 years;
  • Patients with coronary artery disease who indicate IVUS-guided drug-eluting stent implantation;
  • Moderate-to-severe calcified lesions on coronary angiography;
  • Target lesion is a de novo lesion in a native vessel that has not received any prior interventional treatment;
  • Target vessel diameter of 2.5-4.0 mm, with guidewire crossing of the target lesion;
  • In patients with multiple lesions, only one lesion will be selected as the target lesion in this study. If target and non-target lesions are treated during the same procedure, the target and non-target lesions must be located in different vessel branches; furthermore, the non-target lesion must be treated first, and the target lesion may be treated only after successful revascularization of the non-target lesion without severe angiographic complications;
  • Provision of written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • \<1 year;
  • Cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability;
  • Left main coronary artery disease;
  • Chronic total occlusion;
  • Bifurcation lesions planned for a "two-stent strategy";
  • Active bleeding;
  • Known history of allergy to contrast media or metals;
  • Patients with a bleeding tendency, to antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy, or inability to receive anticoagulation therapy;
  • New-onset stroke/ within 6 months;
  • Pregnant or lactating women;
  • \<25%, or functional class IV, or Killip class ≥2;
  • Non-target vessel revascularization within 30 days before randomization with complications.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Test group

    In the test group, the lesion is prepared using a high-pressure cutting balloon prior to DES implantation.

    Device: High pressure cutting balloon

  • Experimental
    Control group

    In the control group, the lesion is prepared using a non-cutting balloon prior to DES implantation.

    Device: Non-cutting balloon

Interventions

  • DeviceHigh pressure cutting balloon

    Lesion preparation is carried out using the cutting balloon, and following completion of preparation, all stents are deployed at nominal pressure.

  • DeviceNon-cutting balloon

    Lesion preparation is carried out using the non-cutting balloon, and following completion of preparation, all stents are deployed at nominal pressure.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Minimum stent area (MSA) at the site of maximum calcification immediately after stent implantation

    IVUS-measured results obtained after stent implantation and prior to balloon post-dilation

    Time frame: procedure day (0 day)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Procedural success

    Defined as successful stent implantation, residual stenosis ≤20%, absence of severe complications such as severe dissection, perforation, acute occlusion, no-reflow, and intraprocedural death, and TIMI 3 flow in the target vessel.

    Time frame: procedure day (0 day)

  2. Strategy success

    Defined as successful stent implantation, residual stenosis ≤20%, absence of severe complications such as severe dissection, perforation, acute occlusion, no-reflow, and intraprocedural death, and no need for alternative calcium modification devices (e.g., bailout rotational atherectomy, excimer laser coronary atherectomy, shockwave balloon).

    Time frame: procedure day (0 day)

  3. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE)

    Defined as a composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death, unplanned urgent target vessel revascularization, unplanned cardiac surgery, or spontaneous myocardial infarction.

    Time frame: the hospitalization period and 30-day after procedure
