Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent Diameter Stenosis (DS)

    Percent DS of the target segment assessed by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA)

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Target lesion failure

    1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years

  • Target vessel failure

    1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years

Study Arms (2)

Biolimus A9™ Drug Coated Balloon

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and who are randomised to this arm, will receive treatment with the Biolimus A9™ Drug Coated Balloon

Device: Biolimus A9 Drug Coated Balloon

Sequent ® Please Paclitaxel coated balloon

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and who are randomised to this arm, will receive treatment with the Sequent ® Please Paclitaxel coated balloon

Device: SeQuent Please Paclitaxel Drug Coated Balloon

Interventions

A non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter to place a semi-compliant angioplasty drug coated balloon to open up coronary arteries that have been narrowed by atherosclerosis. The balloon is inflated to treat the stenosis and transfer the drug to arterial wall, and then is deflated and withdrawn.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients presenting with in-stent restenosis (ISR) and clinical symptoms of ischemia and/or (i) evidence of ischemia on non-invasive testing or (ii) hemodynamically relevant lesion defined by FFR ≤ 0.80 or iFR ≤ 0.89 or \> 90% stenosis.
  • Patient presenting with a lesion that can be fully covered with one DCB length. - Patients can have up to two index lesions with ISR, which can both be treated and evaluated.
  • Patient has provided written informed consent
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Patient is willing and able to comply with the study procedures and follow-up.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient presents with a ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or had an acute MI within 48 hours prior to presentation (according to the universal definition of myocardial infarction).
  • Patient with acute cardiac decompensation or acute cardiogenic shock
  • Documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 30%
  • Patient with impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate \< 80 mL/min/1.73 m2).
  • More than 2 epicardial vessels requiring revascularization
  • Significant left main stenosis (by visual estimation) or an ISR located in the left main (LM).
  • Patient has an ISR lesion that cannot be covered with one DCB length.
  • Patient has an ISR in the target segment in a stent of a smaller diameter than 2.5mm.
  • Severe calcification that might prevent a sufficient expansion of the DCB, if not pre-treated with rotablation or a shockwave application device.
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to biolimus, paclitaxcel, aspirin, thienopyridines, or iodinated contrast that cannot be pre-treated.
  • Pregnant and/or breast-feeding females or females who intend to become pregnant during the time of the study.
  • Subject currently enrolled in other investigational device or drug trial in which the primary endpoint has not yet been reached.
  • Anticipated difficulties to complete the angiographic follow-up study.
  • Patient with a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
  • Patients lacking mental capacity (i.e. patients suffering from dementia and others) to provide informed consent.
