Clinical Performance of the Pantera Lux Balloon Versus the Orsiro Stent in Patients With In-stent Restenosis. (BIOLUX-RCT)

This is an interventional treatment trial for Coronary Artery Disease focused on measuring Restenosis, Drug coated balloon, Drug eluting stent, Paclitaxel, Sirolimus Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has provided a written informed consent
2. Subject ≥ 18 years
3. Clinical evidence of ischemic heart disease and/or a positive functional study, stable or unstable angina pectoris or documented silent ischemia
4. Subject eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention
5. Subject acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass surgery

7. Subjects with a maximum of 2 target lesions. In case of 2 target lesions, both lesions must be either in bare metal stents or drug eluting stents, and must treated during the same session with the same type of device as per randomization outcome, e.g. drug eluting stent.
8. Target reference vessel diameter (visual estimation): ≥ 2.0 and ≤ 4.0 mm
9. Target lesion length (visual estimation): ≥ 6.0 and ≤ 28.0 mm
10. Target lesion stenosis (visual estimation): > 50 % and ≤ 100 %
11. Target lesion in a native coronary artery

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Planned (staged) interventional treatment in the same vessel(s) as the target lesion(s) within 30 days pre- and/or post BIOLUX RCT index procedure.
2. Evidence of acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction within 48 hours prior to index procedure according to the universal definition of myocardial infarction
3. Subjects with acute cardiac decompensation or acute cardiogenic shock
4. Subject with a life expectancy of less than 18 month
5. In the investigators opinion subject who will not be able to comply with the follow up requirements
6. Impaired renal function (excluded are subjects in need of dialysis or subjects with a creatinine level ≥ 221 µmol per liter (2.5 mg per deciliter) within 72 hours of the intended treatment)
7. Thrombus in the target vessel
8. Target lesion located in left main coronary artery
9. Documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 30%

11. Subject is receiving oral or intravenous immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., inhaled steroids are not excluded) or has known life-limiting immunosuppressive or autoimmune disease (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus, systemic lupus erythematosus, but not including diabetes mellitus)
12. Subject currently enrolled in other investigational device or drug trial in which primary endpoint has not been reached
13. Pregnant and/or breast-feeding females or females who intend to become pregnant during the time of the study
