Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety To evaluate the acute, and immediately post-imaging safety of the Volcano PreView FL.IVUS catheter in vivo. This will be assessed by inserting the catheter into the coronary artery after successful and uncomplicated coronary stenting, imaging the stent and the artery just distal and proximal to the stent, followed by the withdrawal of the catheter. Efficacy Clinical success will be assessed by evaluating the ability of the Volcano PreView FL.IVUS catheter to visualize the vessel wall (in particular, the medial layers), lumen and stent struts in coronary arteries. | — |
