Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
General inclusion criteria

1. Patient must be at least 18 years of age.

4. Patient must be an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
5. Patient must agree to undergo all clinical investigation plan-required follow-up visits, angiograms, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), Palpography (optional), optical coherence tomography (OCT) (strongly recommended), multislice computed tomography (MSCT) (optional) and coronary vasomotion (optional)

3. Target lesion(s) must be in a major artery or branch with a visually estimated stenosis of = 50% and < 100% with a TIMI flow of = 1
4. If two target lesions meet the inclusion criteria they must be in different major epicardial vessels left anterior descending artery (LAD) with septal and diagonal branches, left circumflex artery (LCX) with obtuse marginal and/or ramus intermedius branches and right coronary artery (RCA) and any of its branches
5. If two target lesion(s) are being treated, each of these lesions must meet all angiographic inclusion/exclusion criteria

Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria

10. Elective surgery is planned within the first 6 months after the procedure that will require discontinuing either aspirin or clopidogrel
11. Patient has a platelet count < 100,000 cells/mm3 or > 700,000 cells/mm3, a white blood cell count of < 3,000 cells/mm3, or documented or suspected liver disease (including laboratory evidence of hepatitis)
12. Patient has known renal insufficiency (e.g., serum creatinine level of more than 2.5 mg/dL, or patient on dialysis)

16. Patient has extensive peripheral vascular disease that precludes safe 6 French sheath insertion
17. Patient has other medical illness (e.g., cancer or congestive heart failure) or known history of substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, heroin etc.) that may cause non-compliance with the clinical investigation plan, confound the data interpretation or is associated with a limited life expectancy (i.e., less than one year)
18. Patient is already participating in another clinical investigation that has not yet reached its primary endpoint
19. Pregnant or nursing patients and those who plan pregnancy during the Clinical Investigation. (Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to the index procedure and effective contraception must be used during participation in this Clinical Investigation)
20. Patient has received brachytherapy in any epicardial vessel (including side branches)

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria

1. Target lesion(s) meets any of the following criteria:

1. Aorto-ostial location (within 3 mm)
2. Left main location
3. Located within 2 mm of the origin of the LAD or LCX
4. Located within an arterial or saphenous vein graft or distal to a diseased (defined as vessel irregularity per angiogram and > 20% stenosed lesion, by visual estimation) arterial or saphenous vein graft
5. Lesion involving a bifurcation = 2 mm in diameter and ostial lesion > 40% stenosed by visual estimation or side branch requiring predilatation
6. Total occlusion (TIMI flow 0), prior to wire crossing
7. Excessive tortuosity proximal to or within the lesion
8. Extreme angulation (= 90%) proximal to or within the lesion
9. Heavy calcification
10. Restenotic from previous intervention
2. The target vessel contains visible thrombus
3. Another clinically significant lesion is located in the same major epicardial vessel as the target lesion(s) (including side branches)
4. Patient has a high probability that a procedure other than pre-dilatation and stenting and (if necessary) post-dilatation will be required at the time of index procedure for treatment of the target vessel (e.g. atherectomy, cutting balloon or brachytherapy)
