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...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 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

Exclusion

  • 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
  • All types of MI (type 1 to 5 MI) defined by "the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (2018)", which occurred within the last 6 months from inclusion phase would be excluded from this study.
  • 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:
  • long lesion with length \>= 40mm.
  • severely calcified, moderate or severe tortuous, or severe angulated vessels, especially when vessel recoil seems possible.
  • Moderate tortuosity: 2 bends \>75° or 1 bend \>90° to reach the target lesion.
  • Severe tortuosity: 2 bends \>90° or 3 bends \>75° to reach the target lesion.
  • Severe angulation: angulated segment \> 90°
  • Severe calcification: radiopacities noted without cardiac motion before contrast injection generally compromising both sides of the arterial lumen
  • Chronic total occlusion
  • Definition: A lesion of a coronary artery becomes completely blocked for a duration of greater than or equal to 3 months based on angiographic evidence.
  • lesions in left main coronary artery
  • lesions in venous or arterial graft
  • Chronic heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction \< 35% after 6 months of Guideline-Directed Medical Treatment (GDMT)
  • Acute heart failure, hemodynamic instability, or cardiogenic shock
  • Acute heart failure is defined as a rapid onset of new or worsening signs and symptoms of heart failure.
  • Non-cardiac Comorbidities:
  • Severe liver insufficiency defined as 1 of the following:
  • alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase more than 5-fold of upper reference limit.
  • Child-Pugh grade B or C.
  • Severe renal insufficiency with estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 30 ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Malignant tumor.
  • A life expectancy of less than 1 year.
  • Unsuitable for coronary intervention or long-term antithrombotic therapy
  • Myocardial bridging located at target lesions.
  • Major bleeding (BARC type 2 to 5) or active pathological bleeding (including gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding) within 3 months,or major surgery within 2 months.
  • Open surgery is planned within six months after discharge.
  • Intolerable to double (aspirin plus P2Y12 inhibitor) or single (aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor) antiplatelet therapy.
  • History of intracranial hemorrhage.
  • Pregnant women, lactating women, and women of childbearing potential.
  • History of artificial valve replacement.
  • History of participating in any other clinical studies or trials within 12 months before the index procedure.
  • Participants deemed unsuitable to be enrolled by investigators, such as conditions that may result in protocol nonadherence.
