Conditions

Coronary Atherosclerosis Due to Severely Calcified Coronary Lesion

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the success of lesion preparation with either rotational atherectomy or cutting/scoring balloons as well as the long term effects of a hybrid sirolimus-eluting stent in an angiographically well-defined group of patients with complex calcified coronary lesions.

Interventions

Calcified lesion preparation using rotational atherectomy before implantation of the Orsiro drug eluting stent

DEVICECutting/Scoring Balloon

Calcified lesion preparation using cutting/scoring balloons before implantation of the Orsiro drug eluting stent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
In-Stent late lumen loss at 9 months9 monthsCo-primary Endpoint: The in-stent late lumen loss at 9 months, defined as the difference between the postprocedure in-stent minimal lumen diameter (MLD) and the in-stent MLD at 9-month followup angiography.
Strategy SuccessIntraproceduralThe primary endpoint will be 'Strategy Success' defined as successful stent delivery and expansion with attainment of \< 20% in-stent residual stenosis of the target lesion in the presence of TIMI 3 flow without crossover or stent failure

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
In-segment binary restenosis at 9 months9 monthsIn-segment binary restenosis (diameter stenosis ≥ 50%) at 9 months
Stent thrombosis at 9 months, 1 and 2 years9 months, 1 and 2 yearsStent thrombosis at 9 months, 1 and 2 years
Target vessel failure (TVF)9 months, 1 year, 2 yearsTarget vessel failure (TVF) defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction (MI; Q- or non-Q-wave) and clinically driven target vessel revascularization (TVR) at 9 months, 1 and 2 years
Procedural durationIntraproedural
Amount of contrast dyeIntraprocedural
Peri-procedural MIwithin 72 hrs
