Brief 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

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.

Interventions

DEVICEPercutaneous Coronary Intervention

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.

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

Population: Subjects were enrolled based on Investigator assessment of calcium; however, all analyses were performed by core lab assessed calcium to ensure consistent methodology. Of the 350 subjects enrolled in the study, 346 had sufficient angiography for core lab stratification (133 none/mild, 99 moderate, and 114 severe).
