Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- \) Age ≥18 years, male or female.
- )Primary coronary artery disease (with evidence of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia, stable/unstable angina, or old MI) scheduled for non-emergent PCI.
- )Pre-procedure Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥30%.
- )Voluntarily participate in this study and sign Informed Consent Form (ICF), willing to comply with study procedures and follow-up.
- Target lesion is de novo calcified stenotic coronary lesion with no prior intervention.
- Target lesion reference vessel diameter is 2.5-4.0 mm.
- Target lesion meets ONE of the following:
- RCT part: Moderate-to-severe calcification AND stenosis ≥90% and \<100% (length ≤60 mm). (Moderate Calcification: Clearly visible high-density shadows during cardiac motion; Severe Calcification: Clearly visible high-density shadows visible without cardiac motion).
- Single-arm part: Calcified lesion AND Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) (length ≤20 mm).
- Guidewire positioned in the true lumen distal to the target lesion and not in the subintimal space prior to device use.
You may not qualify if:
- \) Planning use of scoring/cutting balloons, Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA), or Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy balloons for calcified lesion modification prior to study device use.
- \) NYHA Class III or IV.
- \) Currently on dialysis or serum creatinine level \>2.5 mg/dL (or 221 µmol/L).
- \) Severe coagulation disorder (platelet count \<100×10⁹/L).
- \) Hyperviscosity diseases (e.g., polycythemia vera, platelet count \>750×10⁹/L).
- \) Cardiac shock with clinical signs or symptoms.
- \) Active systemic infection.
- \) Moderate-to-severe anemia (hemoglobin \<90 g/L).
- \) Acute Myocardial Infarction within 1 month prior to procedure.
- \) Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within 3 months prior to procedure.
- \) Active gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding within 3 months prior to procedure.
- \) Expected life expectancy \<12 months as assessed by the investigator.
- \) Known intolerance to antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy.
- \) Known allergy to study device components or contrast media.
- \) Known pregnancy or lactation (female subjects).
