Overview
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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patient is ≥ 18 years old.
- •Patient is eligible for PCI and acceptable candidate for CABG.
- •Clinical evidence of ischemic heart disease and/or a positive functional study. Documented stable angina pectoris (CCS 1, 2, 3 or 4) or unstable angina pectoris with documented ischemia (Braunwald Class IB-C, IIB-C, or IIIB-C), or documented silent ischemia.
- •The target lesion or target vessel meets all the following criteria;a) is a single de novo lesion or restenotic post-PTCA (non-stented) lesion in one native coronary artery.b)The stenosis of target lesion is ≥ 50% and \< 100% c)The target lesion length must be ≤ 25 mm d)The target reference vessel diameter must be suitable for treatment with stents between 2.5 and 4.0 mm long
- •Patient has been informed of the nature of the study, understands the study requirements and agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site.
- •The patient is able to comply with all specified follow-up evaluations.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Most recent LVEF of the patient is \< 25%.
- •Known allergies to the following: aspirin, Clopidogrel bisulfate, Prasugrel or Ticlopidine, heparin, cobalt, chromium, nickel, or contrast agent (that cannot be adequately premedicated).
- •A platelet count \<100,000 cells/mm3 or \>700,000 cells/mm
- •WBC count \< 3500 cells/mm
- •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.
