Clinical Trial Summary

The long and very long stents, although they represent a greater navigability challenge, especially in tortuous and calcified coronary arteries, they have the advantage of providing shorter procedural time, with less contrast use, less exposure to radiation, lower cost, lower risk of occlusion of lateral branches, as well as less interference in the local flow. However, in the context of the use of such long stents, as some vessels have a tapering shape, with a progressively smaller diameter in their more distal segments (as is the typical case of the left anterior descending artery), a significant disproportion (mismatch) of vessel size between the proximal and distal landing zone of the stent can be noted. Such disproportion may lead to the underestimation of the proximal reference or overestimation of the distal reference diameter of the vessel, generating an increase of the stress on the vessel wall, with consequent increase in the risk of restenosis. In view of this situation, long or very long stents were developed in a tapered shape, with progressive reduction of their diameter between their proximal and distal portion, respecting the phenomenon of tapering of the coronary artery during the treatment of very long lesions.Some of these stents also have a hybrid design, with closed cells at the ends and open cells in the middle, allowing a more efficient expansion in their middle portion (thus avoiding the dog-boning phenomenon). However, there is still a lack of studies in the literature evaluating whether these DES in a tapered shape and hybrid cells may effectively heal over time, specially with respect to strut covering and strut malapposition. Thus, this is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study, including patients presenting at least one long or very long lesion (≥ 30 mm), who will undergo angioplasty with a tapered DES. The objective is to analyze the neointimal healing as well as other data on the efficacy and safety of the tapered DES Biomime Morph in patients with long or very long lesions.
