Summary

Rotational atherectomy is an established tool to treat blocked arteries in the heart, in which the blockage is due to significant amounts of calcified material. In rotational atherectomy, a rotating instrument is used to break up the calcification before a stent is placed and helps restore blood flow to the heart. However, severely calcified regions are difficult to treat and even after treatment arteries can re-clog and major cardiac events occur. This study will test if rotational atherectomy with the addition of a cutting balloon - a balloon with microsurgical blades on its outer surface which make longitudinal incisions in the calcified area in order to open resistant clogs - will result in increased blood vessel lumen, more optimal stent expansion and decreased cardiac problems compared to current standard treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adults Patients ≥18 years of age
  • Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with planned rotational atherectomy and planned drug-eluting stent implantation of a lesion with target vessel reference diameter ≥2.5 mm and ≤ 4.0mm, lesion length ≥ 5 mm and moderate to severe calcification by angiography
  • Patients eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients in cardiogenic shock
  • Planned surgery (cardiac and non-cardiac) within 6 months after the index procedure unless the dual-antiplatelet therapy can be maintained throughout the perisurgical period
  • Patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
  • Subject is pregnant, nursing, or is a woman of child-bearing potential who is not surgically sterile, 45 degrees by visual estimate
  • Lesion(s) stenosis through which a guidewire will not pass.
  • Last remaining vessel with compromised (<30%) left ventricular function
  • Saphenous vein grafts
  • Angiographic evidence of thrombus
  • Angiographic evidence of significant dissection at the treatment site
  • Lesion(s) with previously placed stent within 10 mm (visual estimate)
