Active Comparator: Orbital Atherectomy (OA)
The Diamondback 360® Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) will be used for orbital atherectomy (OA) vessel preparation prior to implantation of a drug-eluting stent.
|
Device: Orbital Atherectomy
Vessel preparation with Orbital Atherectomy followed by balloon pre-dilatation |
Active Comparator: Conventional Balloon Angioplasty
Coronary balloons cleared or approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration will be used for conventional balloon angioplasty prior to implantation of a drug-eluting stent.
|
Device: Balloon
Vessel preparation with conventional and/or specialty balloons |
- Acute Minimum Stent Area (MSA) [ Time Frame: Procedure ]In-stent minimal cross-sectional area as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the conclusion of the procedure in the OCT imaging cohort.
- Target Vessel Failure (TVF) [ Time Frame: 1-Year ]Target vessel failure, defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction (MI), or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.
- Procedural Success [ Time Frame: Procedure ]Procedural success, defined as successful stent delivery with final Core Lab defined Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow three (3) and angiographic in-stent diameter stenosis (DS) ≤20%, and with the absence of any of the following: stent loss, coronary perforation, or intra-procedural death.
- Strategy Success [ Time Frame: Procedure ]Strategy success, defined as procedural success without crossover to alternative treatment.

- Subject has major valve disease and underwent intervention within 30 days prior to randomization.
- Subject has received a heart transplant.
-
Evidence of heart failure by at least one of the following (heart failure assessment is not required per protocol but must be reviewed prior to enrollment if data is available):

- Subject has a known sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
- Subject has a relative or absolute contraindication to dual antiplatelet therapy or (for patients with atrial fibrillation) single antiplatelet therapy (P2Y12 inhibitor preferred) with an anticoagulant for at least 6 months after PCI.
- Subject has a history of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within six (6) months prior to randomization, or any permanent neurologic deficit.
- Subject has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or intention to refuse blood transfusion if one should become necessary.
- Subject has evidence of an active infection on the day of the randomization procedure requiring oral or intravenous antibiotics.
- Subject with known allergy to atherectomy lubricant components including soybean oil, egg yolk phospholipids, glycerin and sodium hydroxide.
