OCT vs IVUS vs QCA to Guide Moderate-to-severe Calcified Lesion Stent Implantation
OCT vs IVUS vs QCA to Guide Moderate-to-severe Calcified Lesion Stent Implantation
This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled clinical trial, aims to
 assess the safety and effectiveness of Optical Coherence Tomography or Intravascular
 Ultrasound or Quantitative Coronary Analysis to guide Firehawk stent implantation , and
 compared the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcified lesion in coronary artery.
This clinical trial will enroll 375 subjects and assign to groups in a 1:1:1 ratio (base on
 Intravascular Ultrasound [IVUS]-guided treatment group : Optical Coherence Tomography
 [OCT]-guided treatment group : Quantitative Coronary Angiography [QCA]-guided treatment
 group) who have moderate-severe calcified lesions in de novo native coronary artery with
 ≥2.50 mm to ≤4.00 mm in diameter (visual measurement) from a maximum of 25 study sites in
 China. After the stent is implanted satisfactorily, OCT examinations will be performed on the
 subjects of these three groups to observe stent expansion after implantation. At 13 months
 after procedure, all subjects will receive QCA examination.

 OCT sub-group study: The initial 66 ongoing subjects from the three treatment groups
 (IVUS-guided treatment group : OCT-guided treatment group : QCA-guided treatment group) who
 provided informed consent and successfully randomized will receive OCT examinations at three
 months follow up after baseline procedure.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Subject must be 18 to 80 years age

 -  Subject (or legal guardian) understands the trial requirements and the treatment
 procedures and provides written informed consent before any trial-specific tests or
 procedures are performed;

 -  Subject is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI);

 -  Subject has symptomatic coronary artery disease with objective evidence of ischemia or
 silent ischemia (including NST-ACS, stable CAD and STEMI（duration over 4 weeks）);

 -  Subjects are eligible candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG);

 -  Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) detected by cardiac ultrasound within 30
 days ≥ 30%;

 -  Subject is willing to comply with all protocol-required follow-up evaluation.

 Angiographic Inclusion Criteria (visual estimate):

 -  The target lesion must be a new lesion and has moderate-to-severe calcification which
 located in a visually estimated reference diameter ≥2.5 mm and ≤4.0 mm in native
 coronary artery;

 -  Target lesion diameter stenosis ≥70% and ≤99%

 -  Target lesion length ≤70mm

 -  Judgment of moderate-to-severe calcification:

 -  Grade II (moderate) calcification:

 Before angiography with or without contrast agent injected, the opacity and deformation of
 coronary artery can be basically seen, the contour of coronary artery can be basically seen
 and the contrast agent can fully cover the opacity of blood vessel

 -  Grade III (severe) calcification:

 Before angiography with or without contrast agent injected, the opacity and deformation of
 coronary artery can be basically seen, the contour of coronary artery is clearly visible
 and the contrast agent can partially cover the opacity of blood vessel

 -  Grade IV (extremely severe) calcification:

 Before angiography with or without contrast agent injected, the opacity of coronary artery
 can be clearly seen, the contour and deformation are completely visible, and whether the
 contrast agent is injected is not highly correlated with the changes in the opacity density
 of blood vessel.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Subjects recently suffer from STEMI (within 4 week), and ECG changes/clinical symptoms
 consistent with AMI or accompanied with increased cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB, CK, TNT
 or TNI) , and if any of the following criteria is meet in the procedure, patients are
 excluded; CK-MB> 2ULN, regardless of the value of total CK; total CK> 2ULN, CK-MB or
 Tn is abnormal;

 If CK-MB or CK was not detected, but cTN> 1ULN, and at least one of the following:

 ECG; Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion
 abnormality.
