Brief summary
This is a prospective, single-center, three-arm study to evaluate the impact of severely calcified coronary lesions treatment on microvascular circulation. We will enroll 30 conveniently sampled subjects assigned to one of three therapeutical methods lithotripsy, super-high pressure balloon, and orbital atherectomy prior to implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES).
Detailed description
This prospective, non-randomized, single-center study includes subjects who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and sign the ICF. 30 patients with severe coronary stenosis will be enrolled. The severity will be assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) based on the degree of calcification in the coronary lesion as defined by this protocol. Subjects will be assigned to one of three arms (lithotripsy, super-high pressure balloon or orbital atherectomy) followed by an implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES). The aposition and expansion of DES will be evaluated using OCT . Patients will be followed through discharge, 30 days and 12 months.
Interventions
Calcified lesion preparation using lithotripsy before implantation of a drug-eluting stent
Calcified lesion preparation using orbital atherectomy before implantation of a drug-eluting stent
Calcified lesion preparation using high-pressure non-compliant balloon before implantation of a drug-eluting stent
Optical coherence tomography assessment of coronary arteries.
A coronary thermodilution system used for evaluate differences between the impact of calcified lesion preparation methods on coronary microvascular function.
