Overview

In calcified lesions, optimal stent placement and expansion may prove to be challenging. Lesion preparation is necessary to facilitate optimal stenting in calcified lesions, for which orbital atherectomy can used. Therefore the aim of this study is to:

  1. Show that orbital atherectomy effectuates optimal stent expansion
  2. Investigate the mechanics of lesion preparation when using orbital atherectomy

Patients presenting with a significant and severely calcified lesion in need of orbital atherectomy will undergo optical coherence tomography guided orbital atherectomy and stent placement.

Description

The Diamondback 360° Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) (Cardiovascular Systems Inc., St. Paul,MN,USA) is a percutaneous device indicated to modify calcified lesion in order to facilitate stent delivery in patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease (CAD). As of to date, detailed sequential intravascular imaging data unraveling the exact calcium modifying effect of orbital atherectomy (OA) prior to stent placement in vivo, are lacking.

The aim of this, international, multicenter, prospective and observational single arm study is to understand the mechanism of action of OA for the treatment of de novo, severely calcified coronary lesions priot to stent placement using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to assess stent expansion, based on OCT derived minimal stent area. The study population consists of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention of a severely calcified coronary lesion in need of OA to enable proper stent placement and expansion.

A total of 100 patients will be enrolled. All patients will undergo peri-procedural imaging using OCT and the aim is to obtain data for at least 50 patients with OCT before and after OA and after stenting.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • De novo significant native coronary artery lesion
  • The target lesion must have evidence of severe calcification: 1) presence of radiopacities noted without cardiac motion prior to contrast injection involving both sides of the arterial wall with calcification length of at least 15 mm and extend partially into the target lesion. 2) OR presence of ≥ 270° of calcium or lumen protruding calcified nodules at >1 cross section by intravascular imaging (OCT)
  • The target vessel reference diameter ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 4.0 mm and lesion must not exceed 40 mm in length

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Left main disease
  • Prior stenting of the target vessel
  • Target lesion has thrombus or dissection
  • Known left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF ≤ 25%
  • Diagnosed with chronic renal failure (GFR < 30 ml/min)
  • Confirmed pregnancy
  • Life expectancy < 12 months
  • Coronary anatomy that prevents delivery of OCT catheter
  • Known allergy to soybean oil, egg yolk phospholipids, glycerin or sodium hydroxide

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
