CAlcified Lesion Intervention Planning Steered by OCT.

Not Applicable
Conditions
Angioplasty
Coronary Artery Calcification
Registration Number
NCT05301218
Lead Sponsor
Institut Mutualiste Montsouris
Brief Summary

Calcified lesions are very frequent among coronary artery disease stenotic lesions.

The prevalence of calcifications ranges from 30 to 40% (by angiography evaluation) but is higher when analyzed by intra coronary imaging.

Calcified lesions are very frequent among coronary artery disease stenotic lesions. The prevalence of calcifications ranges from 30 to 40% (by angiography evaluation) but is higher when analyzed by intra coronary imaging.

The presence of calcifications increases the risk of adverse evolution after PCI , including stent restenosis, thrombosis and need for repeat revascularisation. Specific and appropriate tools can be used for calcified lesions management , including high pressure non compliant balloons, intravascular lithotripsy and rotablator. Intra vascular OCT has a high sensitivity and specificity for calcium detection among coronary artery lesions. Compared to IVUS, OCT allows a better quantification of calcium sheets (depth extension ) . Several intra coronary imaging based calcified lesions management algorithms have been proposed , but none have been validated in clinical practice.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary endpoint of the CALIPSO study is the minimal stent area (MSA) on the final OCT runDuring the procedure

The crude minimal stent area (MSA) will be measured along the stent on the target lesion. Stent geometric expansion will be evaluated by the DOCTORS criteria for non-bifurcated segments (Meneveau et, Circulation 2016) and LEMON criteria for bifurcated segments (Amabile et al;, Eurointervention 2020).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Geometrical stent expansion (%) according to the DOCTORS or LEMON criteriaduring procedure

After the stent is deployed, the blood flow dynamics influence the mechanics by compressing and expanding the structure.

Residual post PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention)stenosis (assessed by QCA methods)during procedure

Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a methodology that enables the analysis of multiple cases in complex situations

Coronary artery perforation: incidenceduring the procedure and During the full participation period (1 year).]

Coronary perforation was defined as evidence of extravasation of dye or blood from the coronary artery during or following the interventional procedure

Major adverse cardiovascular events at 30 days and 1 yearat 30 days and 1 year

Cardiovascular death + Any myocardial infarction + need for re-intervention on the target lesion (TLR)

differences in duration (time) of the procedure

Residual major struts malapposition: crude incidence and quantificationduring procedure

malapposition was defined as a lack of contact of at least 1 strut with the underlying vessel wall (at least 150 μm, in the absence of a side branch) with evidence of blood flow behind the strut. It was classified as "major" malapposition if there was evidence of at least 30% of the struts in one frame.
