Basel Stent Kosten Effektivitäts Trial Drug Eluting Balloons vs. Drug Eluting Stents in Small Vessel Interventions

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Heart Disease
Interventions
Device: Drug eluting balloon
Device: Drug eluting stent
Registration Number
NCT01574534
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that in a real-world population undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for de-novo stenoses in small native vessels with a diameter \<3 mm, drug eluting balloons (DEB) are non inferior to third-generation drug eluting stents (DES).

Detailed Description

Drug-eluting balloons are an established treatment for in-stent stenoses and showed good results in small vessels. Moreover, the available data suggest that DEB are a promising new technique for the treatment of de-novo stenoses in small vessels if pre-dilatation is performed and geographical mismatch is avoided.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that DEB is non-inferior to DES in a real-world population with respect to the combined clinical endpoint Major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization after 12 months.

Target Recruitment
758
Inclusion Criteria
  • Angina pectoris Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) 2 to 4 or silent ischemia as assessed by stress echocardiography, stress cardiac magnetic resonance, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, or fractional flow reserve
  • PCI of de-novo stenosis in vessels ≥2.0 to <3.0 mm in diameter irrespective of the indication (concomitant PCI of a vessel ≥3.0 mm in diameter is permitted if the stenosis is located in a coronary artery other than the culprit vessel)
  • No flow-limiting dissection (TIMI ≤2) or residual stenosis >30% after initial dilatation with a standard or non-compliant balloon, as assessed by the physician in charge
  • Written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
  • Concomitant large-diameter PCI in the same coronary artery (LAD, Ramus circumflexus (RCX), RCA)
  • PCI of instent-restenosis (culprit lesion)
  • Life expectancy <12 months
  • Pregnancy
  • Enrolled in another coronary intervention study
  • Unable to give informed consent
