Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled study meant to compare the safety and efficacy of scheduled drug-coated balloon (DCB) and conventional drug-eluting stent (DES) strategy in the treatment of de novo lesions of large coronary vessel with diameter larger than 2.75 mm. The trial was designed to provide high-quality evidence for expanding the clinical indications of DCB, and to explore a better way for coronary intervention based on DCB.

Study Arms (2)
Drug-coated balloon dominant strategy
EXPERIMENTAL* Patients will receive DCB (Bingo©, Yinyi Ltd., China) only if pre-dilation of the lesion was successful, or otherwise receive bailout stenting. * If bailout stenting is indicated, patients will receive any type of commercially available 2nd Gen DES at physician's preference.
Drug-eluting stent only strategy
ACTIVE COMPARATOR-For conventional stenting, patients will receive any type of commercially available 2nd Gen DES at physician's preference.
Interventions
* Patients treated with DCB will receive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, aspirin plus P2Y12 inhibitor) for 1-3 months, followed by long-term single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT, aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor). * Patients with bailout stenting will generally receive DAPT for 6 months unless deemed as with high ischemic and/or bleeding risks (see "special consideration" in Drug-eluting stent Arm), and then followed by long-term SAPT.
* Patients treated with DES will generally receive DAPT for 6 months unless deemed as with high ischemic and/or bleeding risks (see "special consideration" below), and then followed by long-term SAPT. * Special consideration: 1. Patients will take additional assessment (both DAPT score and PRECISE-DAPT score) to determine their personalized duration of DAPT. 2. The duration of DAPT is extended to 12 months for patients diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome within 12 months. 3. If anticoagulation is indicated, patient will receive a short-term triple antithrombotic therapy (generally 1 to 4 weeks), followed by a variable length of dual antithrombotic therapy (oral anticoagulation (OAC) plus a single antiplatelet agent, preferably clopidogrel) and subsequent long-term OAC mono-therapy. The duration of dual antithrombotic therapy is determined by bleeding risks (HAS-BLED score) according to current guidelines.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years
- De novo lesions of large coronary vessels with the diameter of target lesion reference vessel \> 2.75 mm
- Single- or multi-vessel disease with only 1 lesion meeting the definition of severe stenosis and anatomically amenable to coronary revascularization using DCB alone judged by physician.
- Severe stenosis is defined if 1 of the following criteria are met:
- visual angiographic stenosis with severity \>= 70%.
- functional stenosis with quantitative flow reserve (QFR) or fractional flow reserve (FFR) \< 0.8.
- Other coronary artery lesions are not recommended for coronary revascularization by current guidelines and are not likely need to be treated within the next 1 year judged by physician (e.g., visual stenosis with severity between 50-70% and FFR \> 0.8)
- The prospective subject is agreed on participating the study with a formal written consent
You may not qualify if:
- History of acute coronary syndrome within the last 6 months.
- Acute coronary syndrome is defined as 1 of following diagnosis:
- Unstable Angina Pectoris (UAP)
- ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
- Non-ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)
- Diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) requires both clinical evidence of myocardial ischemia and elevation of cardiac Troponin (cTn) I or T values with at least 1 value above the 99th percentile upper normal range limit (URL)
- Clinical evidence of myocardial ischemia is defined as 1 of the following:
- Symptoms of myocardial ischemia
- New ischemic ECG changes
- Development of pathological Q waves
- Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality in a pattern consistent with an ischemic etiology
- Identification of a coronary thrombus by angiography
- Patients who have received percutaneous coronary intervention (including stent implantation, plain old balloon angioplasty, and DCB angioplasty) within 12 months before the index procedure.
- Currently recommended indications for DCB: in-stent restenosis, bifurcation lesions requiring concomitant intervention of the major vessel and its adjacent side branch (e.g., lesions requiring dual stent implantation, kissing balloon technique, etc.)
- Lesions with any of the following anatomical characteristics presumably not suitable for DCB treatment:
- +30 more criteria
