Optimal Predilatation Technique for BVS Implantation (OPTI-BVS)

October 25, 2016 updated by: MUDr. Ivo Varvařovský, Ph.D, Cardiology Center Agel
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal way of predilatation for BVS implantation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Randomized, single-center study. Forty-five patients with intended BVS implantation will be randomized in ratio of 1:1:1 to different predilatation strategies(non-compliant balloon/Emerge NC™, Boston Scientific, cutting balloon/Flexitome™, scoring balloon/Scoroflex™,Orbus). Predilatation is intended to be done in a vessel:balloon ratio of 1:1. If the device is not able enter the lesion, it will be replaced with a conventional semicompliant balloon with the same predilatation strategy (a vessel:balloon ratio of 1:1) After a successful predilatation, the BVS (Absorb™, Abbott) will be implanted and this procedure will be accomplished by a high pressure postdilatation with a non-compliant balloon (Emerge NC™, BSCI). The MLA of the Absorb stent will be evaluated with optical coherence tomography (OPTIS, St.Jude).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Non-compliant balloon
15 patients, before BVS implantation is coronary artery stenosis dilated with this type of balloon
Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of non-compliant balloon (standard procedure). Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)
Experimental: Scoring balloon
15 patients, before BVS implantation is coronary artery stenosis dilated with this type of balloon
Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of scoring balloon. Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)
Experimental: Cutting balloon
15 patients, before BVS implantation is coronary artery stenosis dilated with this type of balloon
Coronary artery stenosis is dilated before BVS implantation with the use of cutting balloon. Size and dilatation pressure is done according to OCT measurement of the coronary artery (distal segment / balloon diameter = 1:1)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Minimal lumen area (MLA) in the BVS (mm2)
Time Frame: Immediately after BVS implantation
After BVS implantation, optical coherence tomography is used to measure MLA in the scaffold area.
Immediately after BVS implantation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinically - driven target vessel revascularization
Time Frame: 12 months after the procedure
Patient is followed after BVS implantation in 1,6 and 12 months in the outpatient department.
12 months after the procedure
Eccentricity index
Time Frame: Immediately after BVS implantation
After BVS implantation, optical coherence tomography is used to measure MLA in the scaffold area. Eccentricity index is calculated as minimal luminal diameter divided by maximal luminal diameter in the MLA segment.
Immediately after BVS implantation
Expansion index
Time Frame: Immediately after BVS implantation
After BVS implantation, optical coherence tomography is used to measure MLA in the scaffold area. Expansion index is calculated as minimal luminal diameter divided by maximal expected diameter of the non-compliant balloon used for high pressure postdilatation.
Immediately after BVS implantation
