Registration Number
NCT02468960
Lead Sponsor
SIS Medical AG
Brief Summary

Study aim : To compare a novel strategy of lesion preparation with noncompliant balloons before implantation of BVS (Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold).

Hypothesis: Predilatation with non-compliant balloons could facilitate optimal deployment of BVS. By achieving good scaffold apposition a need for post-dilatation could be significantly reduced. This is expected to result in better short- and long-term outcomes.

Detailed Description

Study design:

Following pre-dilatation a BVS will be implanted and optical coherence tomography (OCT) will be performed in all patients. After OCT post-dilatation with non-compliant balloons might be performed if this is considered necessary by the treating interventionist. Final OCT will be performed in all patients. 1:1 Randomization of two strategies before the implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds:

* OPN strategy (study group): pre-dilatation with OPN NC ® Super High Pressure PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) balloons

* standard strategy (control group): pre-dilatation with a standard (compliant) balloon

Enrolment:

Randomization of 50 patients

* 25 in the OPN strategy (study group)

* 25 in the standard strategy (control group)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Scaffold apposition ratio in both groups (ratio of malapossition stents to total stents per cross-sectionParticipants will be followed for the duration of index procedure, an expected average of 1 hour.

Outcome will be analyzed by independent Angio CoreLab based on data recorded during index PCI procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Need for post-dilatation after implantation of the scaffoldParticipants will be followed for the duration of index procedure, an expected average of 1 hour.
Procedural success defined as successful delivery of the scaffoldParticipants will be followed for the duration of index procedure, an expected average of 1 hour.
Scaffold apposition after post-dilatationParticipants will be followed for the duration of index procedure, an expected average of 1 hour.

Outcome will be analyzed by independent Angio CoreLab based on data recorded during index PCI procedure.

Frequency and total number of periprocedural complications: dissection, slow- or no flow, dissection requiring additional stent implantation,Participants will be followed for the duration of index procedure, an expected average of 1 hour.
