Brief summary

A prospective single-arm trial of rotational atherectomy in combination with cutting balloon in severely calcified coronary lesions.

Detailed description

A prospective single-arm trial to evaluate the acute and long term efficacy of a combined strategy of lesion preparation with rotational atherectomy followed by cutting balloon and by hybrid sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in an angiographically well-defined group of patients with severely calcified coronary lesions.

Interventions

PROCEDURERotational atherectomy in combination with cutting balloon

Treatment of severely calcified coronary lesion using rotational atherectomy followed by balloon angioplasty using a cutting balloon and Implantation of the hybrid sirolimus-eluting stent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Co-primary OCT endpoint: Ratio of stent expansion index (SEI)At the end of the index procedureThe main OCT endpoint will be stent expansion index (SEI), defined as minimum stent area divided by mean reference area in optical coherence tomography (OCT) quantitative analysis at the end of the index procedure
Primary endpoint: Numerical in-stent acute lumen gain in mmAt the end of the index procedureThe main angiographic endpoint will be in-stent acute lumen gain defined as minimal lumen diameter (MLD) in stent at the end of the index procedure minus baseline MLD.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of angiographic success in percentPeri-procedural'Angiographic 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.
Rate of strategy success in percentPeri-procedural'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 stent failure.
Rate of target vessel failure in percent9 months, 1 and 2 years follow-upTarget vessel failure (TVF) defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction and clinically driven target vessel revascularization at 9 months, 1 and 2 years.
