Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Age = 18 years • An indication for PCI of a calcified lesion in a native coronary artery • Main OCT criterium is a calcification score of 4 defined as maximum calcium angle of >180 degrees, maximum calcium thickness >0.5mm, and a minimal calcium length of 5mm, as measured at the target lesion • Written informed consent with agreement of follow-up visits. • Eligible for PCI with a target vessel reference diameter between 2.5 and 4.0 mm (by visual estimation).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Severe congestive heart failure, severe heart failure NYHA IV • ST-elevation myocardial infarction as indication for PCI • Severe renal impairment with a glomerular filtration rate of 2.0mm) originating from the target lesion • Contraindication for dual antiplatelet therapy. • Recent history of major bleeding, hematologic disease and/or platelet count < 100.000 per 1 mm3 • Planned major surgery within 3 months after the procedure. • Participation in another clinical study, interfering with this protocol. • The inability to provide written informed consent. • Expected life expectancy of less than two years.
