- Conditions

- Interventions

- Registration Number
- NCT01004575
- Lead Sponsor
- Terumo Europe N.V.
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the new Kaname coronary stent is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease.
- Detailed Description
Current treatments for coronary artery disease include conservative treatment (drug therapies) and invasive techniques that help increase blood flow to ischemic or oxygen-deprived regions of the heart. Among the invasive techniques the most frequently used are coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) without or with stents (bare metal stents (BMS) or drug eluting stents (DES)) implantation. However, all of those treatments have limitations and their effectiveness is diminished under certain circumstances. Therefore, it is essential to tailor therapy for each individual patient considering the overall patient's condition, disease severity and progression as well as concomitant diseases. The question of selection of appropriate stent for each individual patient is still unresolved and most of the physicians either follow international or national guidelines or scientific wisdom.
Although the efficacy of DES is undisputable in restenosis prevention, because some patients could have adverse outcomes from a DES, they should be used selectively in those who are most likely to benefit, and in that decision process several important issues should be addressed such as:Patients' adherence to post-stenting therapy, Bleeding risk, Need for elective surgery, Risk for restenosis, Risk for stent thrombosis. It is still believed that many patients will do well with BMSs and that this technology requires further refinements to improve outcome. For the above reasons Terumo has designed the new coronary BMS, Kaname™, a balloon expandable Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) stent pre-mounted onto a high pressure, semi-compliant balloon on a rapid exchange delivery catheter. The Kaname stent is the subject of the current prospective, multi-centre KARE study.

- WBC count < 3500 cells/mm3.
- Evidence of MI with positive Troponin within 72 hours of the intended treatment.
- Previous PCI (<30 days) anywhere within the target vessel.
- Planned interventional treatment of any non-target vessel <30 days post-procedure will be required. Planned intervention on the target vessel or on a significant lesion of > 50% stenosis anywhere within the target vessel after the index procedure will be required.
- The target lesion requires treatment with a device other than PTCA balloon prior to stent placement. (e.g. but not limited to directional coronary atherectomy, excimer laser, rotational atherectomy, etc.).
- Previous stenting anywhere within the target vessel.
- Target vessel has evidence of thrombus.
- Excessive tortuousity (> 60°) of the target vessel proximal to the target lesion (visual estimate).
- Either of the following characteristics in the target lesion (visual estimate): a)Ostial target lesion or bifurcation lesion b)Target lesion involves a side branch > 2mm in diameter c) Target lesion has excessive tortuousity (> 45°)d)Moderate to severely calcified lesion which can not be successfully predilated e)Target lesion is located in or supplied by an arterial or venous bypass graft f)Significant (> 40%) stenosis proximal or distal to the target lesion. g) A complete occlusion (TIMI flow 0 or 1).
- Target lesion located in left main trunk.
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack < prior 180 days.
- Active peptic ulcer or upper GI bleeding < prior 180 days.
- The patient has bleeding hemorrhagic diathesis or coagulopathy. The patient will refuse a blood transfusion.
- The patient has a widespread peripheral vascular disease.
- Acute or chronic renal dysfunction (creatinine > 2.0 mg/dl).
- The patient requires multiple stent implantations for a tandem lesion.
- Life expectancy < 1 year.
- Patient is currently participating in an investigational drug or device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints. Note: Trials requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational, but have become commercially available since then, are not considered investigational trials.
- In the investigators opinion patient has a co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, compliance with follow-up requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
- Patient is in cardiogenic shock.
- Female of child-bearing potential.
