Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
Some data exist about the efficacy and safety of rotational atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy and excimer laser to modify calcified plaques. However there is no direct randomized comparison between these three tools in this scenario. The aim of this pilot randomized trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of these three techniques during PCI of moderate to severe calcified lesions.
Detailed description
Some data exist about the efficacy and safety of rotational atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy and excimer laser to modify calcified plaques. However there is no direct randomized comparison between these three tools in this scenario. The aim of this pilot randomized trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of these three techniques during PCI of moderate to severe calcified lesions. The primary endpoint will be the percentage of stent expansion measured with optical coherence tomography. Between secondary endpoints we will analyze the strategy success (defined as successful stent delivery and expansion with \<20% residual stenosis and TIMI 3 flow without crossover or stent failure) and presentation of clinical adverse at 1 year follow-up .

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of stent expansion by optical coherence tomography | At the end of percutaneous coronary intervention | We will analyze with optical coherence tomography the percentage of stent expansion (defined as the minimal stent area divided by the mean of the proximal and distal reference lumen areas). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy success rate | At the end of percutaneous coronary intervention | Successful stent delivery and expansion with \<20% residual stenosis and TIMI3 flow without crossover or stent failure. Successful stent delivery and expansion with \<20% residual stenosis and TIMI3 flow without crossover or stent failure. Successful stent delivery and expansion with residual stenosis \<20% and TIMI 3 without crossover |
