Eligibility Criteria

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

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).
  • +12 more criteria
