Brief summary

Biosensors, the Sponsor would like to determine if the Biosensors Microcatheter is safe and effective in treating patients with CTO by assessing a composite of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction and device success (defined as successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond the occluded coronary segment), respectively.

Detailed description

Prospective, multi-center, open-label single-arm trial designed to enroll 100 patients undergoing attempted CTO-PCI at up to 10 centers in the United Kingdom and N. Ireland. For assessment of efficacy, the ability of the BM to successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond the occluded coronary segment will be assessed. Patients will be followed up until hospital discharge or 7 days post index procedure, whichever comes first. For the assessment of safety, the incidence of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction will be assessed at hospital discharge or 7 days post index procedure, whichever comes first.

Inclusion criteria

1. Adult aged \> 18 years 2. Patient understands and has signed the consent form. 3. Patient has an angiographically documented chronic total occlusion (i.e. estimated to be \>3 months duration) showing distal TIMI 0 flow. Occlusion with absence of antegrade flow through the lesion and with a presumed or documented duration of 3 months. 4. Suitable candidate for non-emergent PCI 5. Left ventricle ejection fraction \> 25%

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy: Percentage of patients with device successFollow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Device success defined as successful placement of a guidewire in the vessel across the occluded coronary segment
Safety: Percentage of patients with composite of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction.Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Composite of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of patients with crossing successFollow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Crossing success defined as the BM crossing the lesion
Percentage of patients with procedural successFollow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Procedural success defined as technical success plus the absence of in-hospital MACE (death, myocardial infarction or clinically-driven target vessel revascularization (cd TVR)
Percentage of patients with technical successFollow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Technical success is defined as achievement of TIMI grade 2 antegrade flow with less than 50% residual stenosis of the target CTO lesion at procedure end

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of patients with device-related perforationFollow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Device-related perforation at the site of target coronary lesion and/or its proximal reference segment including donor artery or collateral
Percentage of patients with device failureFollow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.Device failure is defined as: * any evidence of fracture of any part of the microcatheter, * evidence of wire puncture of any part of the device * and/or evidence of a fragment being retained in the body of the patient after a procedure.
