Abstract
Background: Various devices and techniques have been used for plaque modification in the treatment of severe coronary artery calcification. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cutting balloon angioplasty using a novel bioabsorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting coronary stent for treating various degrees of calcified coronary lesions.
Methods: We outline the trial design aimed at assessing whether the cutting balloon (Wolverine™) is non-inferior to the non-compliant balloon in treating patients with calcified lesions, encompassing both de novo and in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions. We aim to enroll 250 patients who have undergone bioabsorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting coronary stent (Synergy™) implantation. The primary endpoint is the minimal stent cross-sectional area at the calcium site as determined by intravascular ultrasonography. The secondary endpoints include major adverse cardiac events and target lesion revascularization at 12 months, alongside procedural convenience and operator-centric parameters, such as the number of balloons used, procedure time, and total contrast medium volume used.
Discussion: In this study, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Wolverine™ and non-compliant balloon in patients with calcified coronary lesions and provide a rationale for which type of balloons will optimally modify calcium lesions. In addition, we will attempt to expand the indications of the cutting balloon for treating mild-to-severe calcified coronary lesions. As the scope of insurance coverage for cutting balloons remains limited in some countries, this study may provide evidence for extending insurance coverage to the treatment of de novo calcified and ISR lesions.

期刊介绍:
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
