Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to investigate whether DCB angioplasty, compared to statin-based medical treatment alone, will lead to more reduction in plaque lipid burden as assessed by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 6-9 months following the index procedure.

Description:

A large lipid core is the hallmark of coronary plaques at risk of rupture and subsequent atherothrombosis. Although statin-based medical treatment is known to regress and stabilize lipid-rich coronary plaques, it takes time for such beneficial effects to appear. This study aims to investigate whether DCB angioplasty can effectively modify de novo coronary atherosclerotic plaque and lead to reduction in plaque lipid burden as assessed by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 6-9 months following the index procedure.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years to 85 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with significant multivessel coronary artery disease requiring revascularization

• Any De novo lesions (reference vessel diameter of 2.25mm~4.0mm) suitable for DCB angioplasty

• Lesion suitable for intravascular imagings

• Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Hemodynamically unstable or cardiogenic shock

• Left main stenotic lesion or graft vessel lesion

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Coronary Disease
• De Novo Stenosis
• Myocardial Ischemia
• Plaque, Atherosclerotic

Intervention

Device:
• SeQuent Please Neo
DCB angioplasty will be performed in accordance with the recent recommendations. Specifically, aggressive lesion predilation (balloon-to-artery ratio: 0.8 to 1.2) using either a plain balloon or a scoring balloon will be performed.
