Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: The Value of IVL Compared To OPN Non-Compliant Balloons for Treatment of RefractorY Coronary Lesions (VICTORY) Trial - A Randomized, Multicenter, Non-inferiority Comparison of Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) and the OPN Non-compliant Balloon for Treatment of Calcified and Refractory Coronary Lesions

Clinical Trial Summary

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation has become the dominant treatment strategy for patients with acute and chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring revascularization. Nonetheless, PCI with stent implantation has some limitations and especially patients with severely calcified coronary lesions (approximately 10-20% of all patients with CAD) have an elevated risk for adverse outcomes, including target lesion failure (TLF) and stent thrombosis (ST).

Several dedicated PCI devices have been developed for treatment of severely calcified lesions. Whereas especially two of them have shown promising results in smaller, prospective studies. First, the super high-pressure NC PCI balloon (OPN™ NC, SIS Medical AG, Frauenfeld, Switzerland) has been shown to represent an effective and safe device for lesion preparation. Second, the lately introduced Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)™ balloon catheter (Shockwave Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA) appears to be a safe and efficient alternative device for treatment of calcified coronary lesions. However, it remains unknown, if the OPN™ NC balloon is non-inferior to to IVL regarding lesion preparation and completeness of stent expansion in severely calcified lesions.

Clinical Trial Description

To evaluate final stent expansion following a strategy of lesion preparation with either the Shockwave C2 IVL™ Catheter (Shockwave Medical Inc. Santa Clara, CA, United States) or a super high-Pressure NC PTCA Balloon (OPN™ NC; SIS Medical Distribution AG, Frauenfeld, Switzerland) in patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions undergoing coronary stent implantation.

To assess the safety of a strategy of using super high-pressure NC balloons compared to shockwave IVL™ for treatment of heavily calcified lesions, which are treated with a contemporary drug eluting stent.

Patients presenting with chronic or acute coronary artery disease and requiring PCI to a very calcified coronary artery lesion will either be randomized to preparation of that corresponding lesion using the control device (Shockwave™ IVL balloon catheter) or the study device (the super high-pressure NC PCI Balloon (OPN™ NC)).

The treatment of the calcified coronary lesion will be guided by use of intravascular imaging (optical coherence tomography, OCT).

Enrolled patients will undergo follow-up at 30 days, 1 year and 2 years ;
