Brief summary

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the use of the Selution SLR sirolimus-eluting balloon, in addition to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), for the preventive treatment of non-flow-limiting vulnerable coronary lesions, compared to GDMT alone, in adult patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and a recent acute coronary syndrome (within 90 days). The main research question is: Does the use of the Selution SLR sirolimus-eluting balloon in combination with GDMT reduce the progression and vulnerability of non-flow-limiting vulnerable coronary plaques? Participants will undergo * PCI procedure with baseline IVUS-NIRS assessment * Follow-up coronary angiography at 6 months with IVUS-NIRS assessment * Clinical follow-up at 3, 6, and 24 months after study enrollment

Interventions

DEVICESirolimus drug eluting ballooon therapy

Non-flow limiting vulnerable coronary plaques are treated using sirolimus drug eluting balloon therapy additional to guidelines directed medical therapy.

DRUGOptimal guidelines-directed medical therapies (GDMT)

Optimal guidelines-directed medical therapies (GDMT) to reduce plaque burden and vulnerability for non-flow limiting vulnerable plaques
