Evaluation of the Neointimal Healing by OCT of the Tapered DES Biomime

Status Completed

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.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
