Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal way of predilatation for BVS implantation.

Detailed description

Randomized, single-center study. Forty-five patients with intended BVS implantation will be randomized in ratio of 1:1:1 to different predilatation strategies(non-compliant balloon/Emerge NC™, Boston Scientific, cutting balloon/Flexitome™, scoring balloon/Scoroflex™,Orbus). Predilatation is intended to be done in a vessel:balloon ratio of 1:1. If the device is not able enter the lesion, it will be replaced with a conventional semicompliant balloon with the same predilatation strategy (a vessel:balloon ratio of 1:1) After a successful predilatation, the BVS (Absorb™, Abbott) will be implanted and this procedure will be accomplished by a high pressure postdilatation with a non-compliant balloon (Emerge NC™, BSCI). The MLA of the Absorb stent will be evaluated with optical coherence tomography (OPTIS, St.Jude).

Conditions

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
DEVICEPredilatation with non-compliant balloonCoronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of non-compliant balloon (standard procedure). Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)
DEVICEPredilatation with scoring balloon (Scoroflex)Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of scoring balloon. Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)
DEVICEPredilatation with cutting balloon (Flextome)Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of cutting balloon. Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)
