Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy
ELCA® in patients with single or multivessel CAD either as a stand-alone modality or in conjunction with Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Balloon Angioplasty (PTCA). The entire procedure will be carried out as per the site routine practice and the device will be used as per the 'Instruction for Use'. Treating physicians/study investigators will be trained by the study Sponsor on the study protocol and procedures prior to clinical investigation procedure.
